Baby struggles to poop
My 7 months old baby girl struggles a lot for pooping, she keeps on making sound and tries to push down the poop, but she is able to poop really after a long time that the poop is hard and small in size. We have been giving her Ragi porridge, apple porridge and carrot porridge on alternative days.
Kindly suggest some drops which will ease her pooping.
Can we give her gripe water?
