Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, this type of symptoms can occur in cystic fibrosis. however, if you are giving formula feed or top milk then also chances of hard Poop can occur. in cystic fibrosis, there is CF mutation analysis present. sweat chloride test is also done which is when more than 40 Milli mole per litre is positive. you should get the child examine by a doctor because these symptoms are not normal in a 2 month old baby. Also hyperthyroidism should be checked in child. Take care.
