Baby poop has become infrequent
Hello sir/mam,
I have a baby boy of 6 month and 2 weeks old. I have started 3 new things after 6 months on my pediatrician suggestion.
1- mums care solid food twice a day. Morning and evening.
2- scinovita 10 drops twice daily
3-Goldiron 10 drops twice daily
After starting these things my baby has started pooping in a gap of 3 to 4 days and that to he is also constipated.
I am unable to find a proper reason exactly for which thing this is happening And my pediatrician is also out of town.
Please suggest what should I do.
