Did you give a lot of solid food? At 6 months you should give only a few small spoons a day for tasting. Give some water after feeding. Prune puree or prune juice should help too

Nope, i give only a tablespoon or a few teaspoon only. Thank you, i will try and give prune puree.

my son’s first few solid poops was quite alarming. but i made him drink more water and introduced papaya. havent tried prune juice yet. but w papaya he poop easily.

Give water after every solid meal, feed high fiber food, give probiotics. If hard stool, give papaya prune etc to help
