hi doctors
my baby is 6 and half months old. she is having solids from 1 month and is on breastfeeding.
from past 10 days she is passing stool on alternate days. earlier she used to pass stool on every day.
also in the night she is passing urine only 1 or 2 times in 7 to 8 hours.
is there anything to be worried?
kindly advise
thank u
Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. constipation in children is common in which diet modification needs to be done like including high fibres in the diet for which you can give seasonal fruits like papaya, watermelon and seasonal vegetables will also help ,you can give Daliya , oatsmeal also to your child which is rich in fibres and nutrients too.
giving excess of milk may also cause constipation, so you should limit its quantity.also avoid banana which may aggravate .lactulose or polyethylene glycol is of good help, sorbilene is also an option but you should give any medicine or suppository only when prescribed by your pediatrician.. medication is the se3condary option.diet modification is the key.plenty of liquids are of great help too.
