Constipation in 6 month old
I have started giving fruits and cerelac to baby of 6 month old. As he is eating I have given almost 75percent of whole apple puree. Next day morning, he was crying continuosly of constipation until he poop. The starting poop is dark and hard. Please advise can I reduce the quantity of puree and give later or need to be stopped.
