My 5 month old baby is constipated .what can I do .suggest any medicine.

Question

Just watch the mother's diet. If she is suffering from constipation or gas or not eating properly, the child may be constipated. Have you started weaning (introduction of food) to the child? Some food like apple juice or banana may create problem like constipation. Bottle fed children do suffer from constipation. Give few drops of honey in milk, it will cure. If the abdomen is tight, take a pinch of heeng on your palm, add a drop of water, apply around the navel area of the child. It will help from the colic.
