Constipation after starting solids

2023-02-28 12:21:45
Hi doctor, My baby is 5 months 4 days old. I started giving solids. First I gave cerelac ( wheat apple ) , next I introduced Rice, carrot, potato boiled n mashed. Now she is severely constipated. She cries while passing stools. Her stool is not able to come smoothly. She passes stool like hard pebbles. Please help us overcome this problem ?
