My baby is 6 nd half months old...So I have started giving him liquids as per doctor advise but due to that he is suffering from constipation nd not passing stool frequently..Can anybody suggest what to do
HI, I would like to share with you that I have faced the similar problem when my girl was around one year old. She used to be so constipated that it would hurt her when she used to poop after say three days or four days. We showed her to her paediatrician who advised a laxative syrup to her. I was very skeptical about giving her laxative to her believing the fact that she would get used to the laxative and her bowel movement will take longer to get normal on its own. But we had no choice and we followed it. But thankfully with time, her bowel movements became normal and regular. We stopped the laxative and she passed her stool everyday without any trouble. I think it was all because as she was growing up, she was on her own drinking enough water, doing enough physical activity and was eating the right food. I think go by the doctor's advise and he will respond. Apart from this, since the baby is 6 month old, you can include rains in his diet. Make it a habit to give him raisins everyday. You can also make him drink lukewarm water. It also softens the stool and aids in relieving constipation. Below is the link that has several home remedies that you can try. http://homeremedyshop.com/14-home-remedies-for-curing-constipation-in-infants/
