What Is The Reason For Baby's Face To Turn Red While Passing Very Dry, Black Stools?

for the last one week my 7 month son face is turning red (He is pushing hard) while passing stool. Stool is dry, having very strong-smell and in the form of black colour pellets. also, the quantity of stool is decreased. he is usually passing stool once in a day, but sometimes twice a day. In his food, he is taking nestum rice, naan, small banana, vegetable soup (carrot, peas, cauliflower) in day time while in night mother is feeding him. whether he is suffering from constipation?

Hi dear
welcome to the HCM.
Straining while passing hard stool is the cause of red face.
some laxative to be added like diluted honey and some fibrous food to relive his constipation.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
