Baby is constipated & doesn't sleep much
1 month old baby is feeding on mother's milk but extremely constibated. Baby is pooping after a gap of one week but farting regularly. Not sleeping properly as well. Is there any home remedy or medicine that could be given?
As the mothers milk doesn't contain lot of waste it doesn't required to pass daily.
Keep her hydrated by giving longer breast feeding about 15 to 20 minutes feeding every time.
Give Gastica drops 0.5 ml thrice daily for 2to 4 weeks.
