Suggest Treatment For Constipation In Baby

My 6 month old baby haven t make a stool for 60 hours. This is very unussual as he makes one every day. We have started with solids two weeks ago - riceflakes with HA formule and appelsauce. Baby seems also more upsett and does not sleep well. Shall I stop with solids for now? Or can you maybe suggest some better food to feed the baby with? How can I solf quickly his constipation? Shall I try appeljuice? Thank you.

Hello and welcome to healthcare magic.
It's very normal to experience change in baby's bowel habbits after weaning the baby to solid food.In infants absent bowel movements is normal for as long as 14 days provided that their abdomen is soft and they are otherwise we'll. As your baby is restless,Glycerine suppoisatray can be given via anus to make the bowels empty.
After that I would suggest following to make his bowel habbits healthy
> Give him prune juice.
>Add more fluids.
>Don't stop the solids completely but make them softer.
Hope this answer is helpful.Good luck
