Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
To make an infant pass stools easily, you need to give more fibre in the diet.
For that you need to give him atleast two to three servings of fruits and vegetables everyday .
Almost all vegetables can be boiled and given
Fruits like apple can be boiled and given. Bananas and oranges can be given directly.
Moreover try giving him water after each feed. This will ensure his poops form easily and pass out with ease.
Wishing your child good health.
