Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Constipation in exclusively breastfed babies around this age group is very rare.

Constipation in your baby is due to toned milk you are giving and due to its improper dilution.

I advise you to stop giving the toned milk.

Continue exclusive breastfeeding till the age of 6 months.

On breast milk, babies will have soft stools.

In spite of giving breast milk child is having hard stools, laxative can be given for once or twice with the Pediatrician advise.

So continue exclusive breastfeeding and consult your Pediatrician for the medication.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
