10.5 months baby constipation
Hello doctors,
My baby girl is 10.5 months. She is just 7.8 kgs while her birth weight was 3.066kgs.
Her bowel movement isn't great usually after we started with external food. Recently she is constipated . Excreting hard round poop. Her water intake is not much. She is breast fed.
She isn't interested in eating her food and weight gain is also kind of stuck. She was 7 kgs at 7 months. And now 7.8kgs at 10.5 months.
Please suggest.
Is Mariliv drops suggested? A local doctor has suggested that for a month. I need opinion.
Thank you so much !
