Constipation in 6 month old baby

2021-01-09 03:56:20
My son is on exclusive breast feed. Of late we have introduced solids. We are giving him apple purée . He was fine in the initial days, was pooping daily. But past 3 days he's seems to be constipated and dint poop. Is that I need to change his diet? Or any home remedies for this constipation?

Hi! Since you have introduced complementary foods, assuming child is 6months old. Start giving water. You can try home remedies eg soaked prunes water. Consult you pediatrician if problem persists.
