Hii doctor, I m Archana my 5 months baby is not passing stools for 3 days after 3 days he passed stool in green color.My doctor suggested ecobion BC 5ml mini bottle daily once.Iam using that from yesterday but till now he didn t passed stool.He is also not taking water. So please I need your suggestion
try to feed him every six hourly and mother should eat light food like pulses, rice.. so that breast milk will also help to relieve him... if problem persists u can add prune juice to your baby formula.. or u can add apple or pear juice if he doesn't like prune juice.. add juice to Formula in very little quantity...snd also consult doctor.. .. they can give some glycerin suppositories in case of severe constipation..
