What Causes Hard Stools In An Infant?
Hello Sir, My 5 months baby is suffering due to tight motion. Her day to day food includes ragi malt, cow s milk and Lactogen. I have breastfed her for 4 months and now we have started with the above mentioned foods since I was not able to breastfeed her. Please suggest. Thanks, Josphin

Hi...Ragi has got high calcium content in it, which might cause constipation. Sometimes this can cause constipation. Natural methods are the best to relieve constipation. Constipation is a risk factor for urinary tract infection. Maximum milk consumption per day should not exceed 300-400ml per day. Minimum 3-4 cups of fruits and vegetables to be consumed per day in mashed form.
