Suggest Treatment For Constipation In An Infant

My 5month old baby is constipated. His poop is hard and he uses the Enfamil gentlease and I barley started giving him banana gerber and he seemed to get constipated after I gave him that so I just want to know a safe way to relieve him. His doctor gave me sepasitories but i m not comfortable giving him those because on the bottle it says 2-5 years of age and my baby is only 5months old. What else do you recommend I can do for my little one?
