You should perhaps modify the diet you are giving to your baby. If you have already started semisolid food as recommended for age, try adding fibre rich food like green leafy vegetables boiled with the rice that you give him. You can try to soak a roti in dal or milk and feed him that. These can help to prevent constipation. To treat the constipation, try to give syrup Laxolite half the body weight twice daily. Give it for 7 days at least. It is a laxative and safe to be used in children.
