My son is only 2 months old He is now having constipation. What may be the reason for that?Is it because I am having non vegetarian foods in my diet? Is is because I give formula milk between breast milk whenever the breast milk is too less?

A. Thank you so much for the response.I am not sure if he is getting enough milk because he demands milk every hour.He sucks slowly and sleep so faster.How can I make sure that he is sucking enough milk?

A. it is totally normal for small children less than 6 months of age not to pass stool for 10 days also. it is also normal if they are passing stool more than 6 or 7 times per day. if the consistencyc of the stool is Semi solid to solid there is no need to worry about the frequency as well as the colour (the colour can range from yellow brown green to black) of the stool. also straining while passing urine and stool is normal. Do burping for 15 to 20 minutes

A. and if a child is feeling constipated, please make sure your child get enough milk. give massage on stomach in clockwise direction with firm hands. move your child legs in cycling motions. give warm water bath twice in a day it will help to cure constipation

A. hi mam , it is normal for young babies to not pass stool up to 7 days and to pass stool for 10 times in a day. so , as far as your child is not showing any other discomfort , looks happy and active , gains enough weight, passes urine at least 7 or 8 times in a day ,no need to worry about it much
