Try feed you baby probiotic to help the digestive system. If your baby already started solids can take some prune puree. If these all fail you can give lactulose (should go to a doctor to get prescribed this)

Probiotics might help. I use biogaia for mine. You can get it over the counter at watsons. I think pupsik is having a discount on it!

Try this massage and feed bit of warm water. Very effective for my baby. https://youtu.be/Fcn6gVX5y4I

Sometimes the milk baby drink is heaty,my baby drinking Lactrogen as people say is not really heaty.

Actually formula milk inside has prebiotics . Can ask doctor what formula milk they recommend

Prune puree! Actually my LO pooped immediately after the apple sauce puree too. Haha

Did you make or buy the prune/applesauce purée? If you make, how did you do so? Is prune gentle enough for a 6 months old first food?

Probiotics. Since 6 months starts to wean already try to offer water

i gave my baby probiotics powder and increase her food intakes.

Must ask your doctor to recommend a different formula

You can try giving probiotics. Biogaia is good.
