What Causes Constipation In An Infant?

Hi, my 9.5 month old baby exerts pressure while trying to poop. He makes faces too but still could not poop on daily basis. He poops twice or thrice in a week and that too hard. This hard poop has started only after the introduction of solid food from 8.5 month. We tried all the food combinations to change his diet but nothing works except the case when we keep him on mother s milk, his poop becomes liquid. Currently, he has 6 teeth and eating food in semi solid form. No feed of top milk. Pls suggest what to do.
