A. Constipation is quite common in babys less than one year of age
No need to worry for this
Give tummy times frequently in a day time
Do massage everyday and specially tummy massage more.
breast Feed ur baby as per demand
It will help
Burp properly at least 10 min or till baby take 4 burp
Keep hydration well
Baby should pass minimum urine 6-8 times per day
If baby is feeling discomfort and crying inconsolably then
Need to do rectal stimulation, apply some drops of oil over rectal area
It will help
If it doesn't help then
Need rectal glycerine enema
Or some laxative
for which u need to visit once with pediatrician.

A. Constipation is a problem where there is difficulty in passing the stools and it could be very hard leading to sometimes injury and it becomes a chronic condition in most of the cases if not treated properly .
most important thing is a proper diet with good fibre and plenty of liquids . Also avoidance of food which can aggravate the condition like Banana excess of milk and food with maida and junk .
medications should be given like lactulose or polyethylene glycol but only in guidance with the doctor.
In emergency situation glycernjine suppository or enema is useful.
