A. it is better to do some water to avoid hard stool Constipation is very common in babies you have to modify the food which is more in fibre like green leafy vegetables and seasonal fruits like apple mango papaya banana etc

A. hi first ,why you are giving semisolid food at this stage of age ? breastmilk is sufficient . no need of other food items. just keep breastfeeding your child as per his needs. to cure constipation , give Massage on stomach in clockwise direction with firm hands. move your child legs in cycling motions. it will definitely help in this.
