Constipation in Babies who are less than a year old - Remedy

                    Constipation in Babies who are less than one year is very common because this is the stage in which you would keep introducing to many new Foods. So you needn't rush to the doctor and say that your child is constipated when its only one day since he has pooped.

When to Worry About It?

• When you find blood stains in the toilet.
• When your child has not pooped for two days even after you have given 5-6 meals apart from the breast milk. 
• When your child's poop is very  hard that the child finds it very difficult to push it out, for two or three days continuously.   
• When your child's anus has got fissures because of trying very hard to push it out. 

What could be done?

• Avoid BRAT diet, the one that is advised to give for the kids having diarrhea, to tighten the stool. This diet includes Banana(Yes!Banana causes constipation), Rice, Apple(raw), Toasts(bread, etc.,) etc.,
•  While introducing to new food, you should give the same food for continuous three days and check for any allergy or constipation. If  any such is found out refrain from giving that particular food temporarily and can try giving it again exactly after two months.
• Even after doing all these if your child's bowel movement is not back to normal do consult a doctor who may either suggest with any medicines or a wax like medicine that has to be kept inside the anus to loosen the stool.
