My baby turned 6 months old this Monday only, so I started with little amount of mashed banana one time a day and gave him for 2 days. From that day he did not poop for 3 days,later he did but little bit hard motion, but not like constipated. Shall I give him another food to eat like apple or should I wait ? Kindly suggest.

A. it is ok after diet. Baby may pass motion in 2 to 3 days or may be up to 7 days . It is normal for baby . No need to worry for this . You can use any glycerine suppository over the anal area for lubrication .
