The child is having constipation for nearly 4 months. He strains and passes hard stools often. He refuses to drink water. Consulted doctor for the same.Was advised to have lots of fluids, fruits and veggies. Also prescribed Ezlax sachet for 2 weeks. During medication everything is fine.

I think you are giving excess milk to the baby. Reduce milk intake and give more vegetables and other.
