Hello,
Your baby seems to be having chronic constipation. It needs to change diet which should be fiber rich, provide adequate water intake. I also advise for some blood test as TTG IgA, thyroid profile. You can start laxative as PEG to improve gut function.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
