Managing constipation in infants

If your infant is showing signs of distress, straining for long periods, or experiencing changes in bowel habits, the first step should always be to consult your pediatrician rather than attempting home remedies. Avoid introducing herbs or oils like ajwain water or castor oil at a young age without medical guidance, as these may not be appropriate for an infant's developing digestive system. A doctor can help determine if the constipation is related to diet or other factors and provide safe, effective relief.
