Passing frequently stools not a mistake
But hard stools are painful
No.1 are you mother feeding still
No 2. Any artificial feeds
No.3. any cereals added?
Next Steps
add cereals / greens to diet(say ragi/rice) once at least (improves the rhouage and helps in formation of stools)
most important is toilet training (put your baby in prone position in your leg )after a sip of warm water wait till grunt and pass stools himself
Health Tips
don't be upset if the baby does this
as the baby has only one muscle the front of abdomen and the gut doesn't has one by itself.
if the conservative methods fail you can try medicines
ultrasound abdomen is very useful tool harmless to detect placid intestines
( but very rare phenomenon)
best is toilet training
thank you
