Bowel movement every alternate day

2023-02-09 06:50:10
My baby is 7 months now. He is on solid food (ragi and rice) from last 3 weeks. He poops every alternate day. This is happening from 1 week. Earlier he had regular bowel movement on daily basis.It doesn't seems that he has pain or uncomfortable. So should we be concerned about the change in the bowel movement.

With the change in diet ,babies tends to have change in bowel movement. Upto 3-4 days not passing stools are acceptable until if there are no red flag signs ( excessive cry , abdominal distension,  hard stools with difficulty in passage,  vomiting etc).
