Stool formation depends TOTALLY on the diet.
Give him just 2 milk feeds,stop breastfeeding.
Add 4 solid meals,including high fiber items such as Dalia,cornflakes,salads,green leafy vegetables,fruits like mango,cheeku,apple etc.
Meds are ONLY for symptomatic relief,NOT treatment,which remains a high fiber diet.
