Thank you for posting your query.

presentation of constipation in infant.
advice is :

-warm water intake (boiled water) and sometimes ( not everyday) put few drop of lemon juice (raw) in it.
-include mashed "fresh orange" and "pear" in diet (everyday)
- avoid COLD milk
-"try switching to another formula" (if using powder milk)
- intake of fresh cows milk is encouraged and a better alternative to formula milk
- pediatric colic drops maybe used
- avoid dulcolax
- pure edible olive oil maybe used when cooking/preparing food for baby
hope the bowel movement would be normal.
any further questions are welcomed.
