Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my 9.5 month old baby exerts pressure while trying to poop. He makes faces too but still could not poop on daily basis. He poops twice or thrice in a week and that too hard. This hard poop has started only after the introduction of solid food from 8.5 month. We tried all the food combinations to change his diet but nothing works except the case when we keep him on mother s milk, his poop becomes liquid. Currently, he has 6 teeth and eating food in semi solid form. No feed of top milk. Pls suggest what to do.
As per your history is concerned the constipation of child is not pathological at all .Give sufficient water to drink as well as if he is taking solid food make it semi solid that he can digest easily.For constipation give DULCOLAX pediatric suppository at least once in the evening.
