Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Some advices that I can give you are :
• Make sure your child is drinking adequate amounts of fluids.
• Add fruit juices, such as apple, pear, or prune juice, to reliee constipation.
• Add high-fiber baby foods include cooked dried beans or peas (legumes), apricots, prunes, peaches, pears, plums, and spinach.
• Increase the amount of high-fiber foods, such as bran flakes, bran muffins, oatmeal, brown rice, and beans. Offer your child whole wheat bread instead of white bread.
• Gently massage your child's belly.
• Use glycerin suppositories only once or twice

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
