Hi
Constipation is common with cow's milk if improper dilution.
Give plenty of oral fluids and add dietary fiber rich food to your child regular diet.
You can give Oral lactulose which will soften the hard stool after consulting your doctor.
Once stool becomes soft and loose you can stop lactulose.
