My 5 mth old son has done very hard & very less qty of potty for past 3 days. Normally he does potty 2-3 times day . He is eating

mashed kela/stewed apple in mid morning, boiled veggies in eve & Cerelac at nite. He is breastfed.

Because of this he is crying a lot .. this is the 1st time he has been constipated & i dont know what to do? He had a cold

last week & i am giving him Coldact drops, Benylyn Cough Syrup & Nasoclear.

Can i give him kela, apple .. do they make the stomach hard? What changes in his diet shld i do??

Pls help me

Thnx

Nikita shweta replied. hi,
don't worry about constipation. it'll certainly go away. try giving him more fluids and do u get prune juice where u live. that really does the trick? just 1 oz should do it.
shweta monika replied. hi Nikita,
I also have a 5 month old son & he is also on apple/kela & nestum diet.
For relieving constipation, make sure that after every solid feed, ur baby drinks a little milk.If not milk, at least he shud take a few spoons of water.
U can try giving gripewater too. I have heard that it helps in passing stool.
But since he is doing a little potty everyday, i do not think u need to worry much. All the best to u.
Love
Monika
