Baby Passing Hard Stools. Suffering From Indigestion. Suggest
Hi Doc,
My 9 month old baby is passing hard stool since last 4-5 days.
I have been giving her sooji upma , daliya (+ vegetables), khichidi (+veg) for her BF , lunch n dinner resp
+ a fruit diet mainly boiled or direct apple along with required breastfeed.
Last night she also suffered from some indigestion, she vomitted out her last meal.
Her weight is 7.32 , can u please suggest me where am I going wrong wih her diet.
My elders keeps on telling me to give her bonnision or janam ghutti but this is the first time
I am seeing some issues with her digestion else she was fine .I started her solids after 6 months slowly.
Thanks in advance for your valuable time n suggestion.

Hi,
You are doing great job regarding the diet in your child .You have rightfully included cereals,pulses,veggies and fruits in her diet.
Do not give Janam Ghutti and Bonnison as it is not required nor recommended by Pediatrician.
Occasional vomits are of no consequence.Multiple vomits if present needs to be treated.
Toddlers do suffer from indigestion due to immaturity of intestines hence they pass eaten food undigested .
Hard stools if are being passed effortlessly then don't worry.Just give lots of liquids to your child.However if motions are hard enough to make her cry or there is constipation for more than 3 days then get in touch with her doctor.
Take Care.
