Re: hard stools-6 month baby

Dear Vidya,

Yes please, give him water after every solid feed. Atleast 1oz ( 2 ozs if possible) . That should do for now. Slowly you can increase. Give him the prune juice too every other day. Are you not including any fruits or veggies for him? If you do, you should not be having the hard stool problem. Even with the bottled baby food, it should not cause hard stools.

Increase the water intake please. Once they start on solids, you should give water with every meal.

Vandhana

Re: hard stools-6 month baby

dear vidhu,
even after giving fruits and all if u still have problem try giving baby enema, a small pump like stuff available, u need to insert with a little warm water then a little cold water and this way u r stimulating the bowel area and try to keep ur child in the cold water tub for atleast 20minutes this helps to cool of the lower area...we always leave the kids in the water for 20 minutes after bath...if the climate is too cold then a warm water other wise cool water to bring down the heat, this way u r cooling the inside and the outside, add lots of greens in his diet, it is a natural fibre that will help laxate his tools and loosen...hope been of help regards sunkan

Hi VIdhu,
At night soak 15 to 20 kottai drakshai ( bigger than raisins) in half a cup of warm water. In the morning squeeze out drakshai from the water and give the water to the baby. It will help the child to have free motion.

Re: difficult in passing stools

Pls Dont Make Your Trials On The Baby...48 Hours Stool Not Passing Is Nothing Wrong ..but Even Otherwise Baby Is Not Passing Pls Give The Baby More Water ..warm Water...
