Could Using Cerelac Cause Constipation?
I m giving cerelac to my 11mths old baby. But for sometime I feel it doesn t suit him becoz he is suffering from constipation. Earlier i had been giving him the cerelac twice or thrice in a day but now I have restricted it to once in a day. I would like to ask is there any sideeffect of cerelac that he suffered from constipation?

HI...Cerelac alone cannot be causing constipation. It also depends on how much water and fibre is going into his system. I suggest you give him adequate amount of water and fibre too. Natural methods are the best to relieve constipation. Maximum milk consumption per day should not exceed 300-400ml. Minimum 3-4 cups of fruits and vegetables to be consumed per day.
