Tight stool or constipation
Hi,
My son has completed 7 months today. We started Nanpro Excellapro2 and semi solid foods when he became 6 months old. And after that we noticed that he is getting constipated or passing extremely tight stool. Sometimes we have to give him glycerine suppository to help him pass stools.
I used to give him moong dal mash or mashed oats or rice boiled mashed carrots or beans or chickoo, banana etc.
After consulting with a doctor I user to give him some sip of lukewarm water as well throughout the day after meals or milk.
But the problem of tight stool is not resolving.
Kindly suggest if the diet is causing any issues or something else.
He never faced this issue before 6 months.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
Formula feed can cause constipation. You need to improve fiber intake. You can give carrot paste, cucumber paste, green leafy vegetable soup.
