Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
You need to add some fibre based foods to her diet as she is now old enough to eat any kind of food. You can give her porridge, green vegetables mashed,boiled dal,and even isabgol kheer to soften her stool. Yoghurt will also help to increase the favourable gut flora.
