A. Introducing solids might be the reason. Stop giving the food you are giving. It must solve the constipation

A. whenever you introduce food for the child and it is causing constipation you have to stop that particular food which is causing such problems and try to give food which is more rich in fibre and has got plenty of fluids.
it is important to add papaya in the diet which will help in decreasing this problem
and also at the same time see that you are not giving any new outside milk which is again known to cause constipationd
Medicine is to be given only if instructed by the doctor after examination.
give plenty of water to drink.
if needed the doctor will give polyethylene glycol which is the first line of medicine for constipation dd

A. Yes when you introduce food to the child it is common for them to poop a couple of times in the day because the digestion is not very strong to accept the food that you are giving also the correct ages to start after completing the age of six months you shouldn’t have started early it’s not healthy for the child
