Constipation: Constipation is defined as passage of hard stools or if a person stools very infrequently. Infants may pass a soft stool every 2-3 days but if it is soft/ regular than it is not constipation. Give water/ fruit juice for constipation. Rectal stimulation may be tried but doing it frequently is not recommended
