FAQ HealthFeeding 6-12 months

How should I handle a baby who has not pooped for a few days?

If your baby is between 6-12 months and is not constipated, try offering 'P' foods such as pureed papaya, pear, or prune water (prunes boiled in water). Additionally, physical exercise like bicycle leg movements or gentle tummy massages can help stimulate bowel movements. If the baby shows signs of significant discomfort, is not feeding, or if the constipation persists, always check in with your pediatrician.
