A. Constipation in a 16-month-old baby can be distressing, but there are some Indian home remedies that you can try with caution. Remember to consult with a pediatrician before using any remedies to ensure they are appropriate for your child: 1. **Ajwain (Carom Seeds) Water**: Boil a teaspoon of ajwain seeds in water, cool it, and give a teaspoon of this water to your baby. It can help relieve constipation. 2. **Hing (Asafoetida) in Ghee**: Mix a pinch of hing in a teaspoon of warm ghee (clarified butter) and apply it around your baby's navel area. This can provide relief. 3. **Fruits**: Offer mashed or pureed fruits like papaya, prunes, and pears, which have natural laxative properties. 4. **Fiber-Rich Foods**: Include fiber-rich foods like khichdi (rice and lentils), daliya (broken wheat porridge), and oats in your baby's diet. 5. **Warm Water**: Give your baby small sips of warm water throughout the day to keep them hydrated, which can help with digestion. 6. **Tummy Massage**: Gently massage your baby's tummy in a clockwise direction to stimulate bowel movements. 7. **Fennel (Saunf) Water**: Boil a teaspoon of saunf (fennel seeds) in water and cool it. Offer your baby a small amount to drink. 8. **Yogurt**: Probiotic-rich yogurt can help regulate the digestive system. Ensure it's plain, unsweetened yogurt. Always introduce new foods and remedies gradually, and monitor your baby's reaction. If constipation persists or worsens, or if you notice any unusual symptoms, consult with your pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
