Hi . I think you need to start her on weaning foods to improve her constipation. Ragi porridge is a good one to start. Also you can give Rice porridge or kanji. Can add vegetable soup, fruit juice without sugar or little sugar, boiled apple, banana etc. Introduce one new item a week.
If on breastfeeding, continue it and avoid powder milk. Changing milk brand may or may not work. It is just a trial. Generally I don't prescribe silybon or carmicide syrup. Also not every child passes stool daily. It varies from child to child.
