Stop bottle feeding, reduce milk intake to 250 ml per day. Instead of juice give fruit either whole or mashed. If doesn't help, consult paediatrician online

Reduce milk intake to about 400ml/24hours maximum ( more than this will increase constipation issue)
Give fibre rich diet
Vegetables/fruits more in quantity
Stop bottle feeding if you are using (it will reduce milk intake to great extent)
Give all other normal home made fresh foods / avoid commercial products
