My 7month and 4 weeks son have hard stool for 3weeks for 3tims a week, he is breast fed baby but last 2 weeks I started giving him formula (novalac IT2) once a day for hard stool, but I did see any different!! I feed him some (veg. / sweet potato / apple / pear/ breast chicken) he also have gases / I did for him stool test and it's every thing ok. He drink from 5 to 10 ml water but not every day. Please let me know what to feed my baby boy and what is the best formula for him.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Now you should start him on other diet slowly. This will increase the fiber content of the diet and will help to pass normal stools.
He should also consume enough water. Offer him water after every solid feed he has.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
