Hi ! This is a very frequent problem in infants but nothing to worry about .
You can try some simple tips to relieve constipation.
Give your baby a warm water bath.
Make your baby lie on his back and exercise the legs in a bicycling-pedalling motion. This will help to stimulate bowel movements
If breast feeding is not able to satisfy hunger of baby you can add formula feed .
Donot give any medicines or laxatives before consulting your pediatrician .
