Give your baby mashed carrots, beetroot etc. Even then if constipation is persistant, then you can give a pinch of chia or sabja seeds in water. There are many more ways to make the digestive system good.

Hi, Try other weaning meals like suji kheer, glucose biscuit mashed in milk, mashed potato, mashed dal, curd etc. It takes time to adjust with the new meals for the baby. Try giving different meals at different times starting from the least quantity.
