Hi,
1. First of all, for constipation, you need to give laxatives to your baby e.g. Lactulose at night so that he can evacuate his/her intestine in the morning. do it for 15 days and then review.
2. For diaper rash, you can use ointment EASYNAPY and CANDID dusting powder every time he passes stool.
3. Give him more of a fiber diet, more liquids.
4. Change the milk powder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
