A. Constipation is a common problem in children for which diet modification is important like including high fibres in the diet for which you can give seasonal fruits like papaya, watermelon and seasonal vegetables will also help , can give daliya or oatsmeal also .give more liquids. giving excess of milk may cause constipation too.also avoid banana which may aggravate .lactulose or polyethylene glycol may be of good help,but give any medicine or supp8kository only when prescribed.

A. hello since the baby is less than 6 months and if in bm then you can add few drops of prune juice to the bm and if giving infant formula milk then you can try to change the brand of the infant formula milk that you give for the baby which should be better and also safe
