A. Constipation in Babies less than 1 year is very common and more in formula fed babies and also when initiallbuy the semi solid food has been started after 6 months . you can give bonnisan drops and some enzyme preparations in proper dose suggested by doctor and cow's milk should be avoided before 1 year of age . Medfications are required but it should be given only in medical supervision .

A. Don't worry about it. Your baby may poop after every feed or only once a week. It’s all normal. If baby is pooping after every feed, it's because as your baby’s stomach fills up, the milk stimulates the digestive tract, giving baby urge to go potty.
