My 11month old baby find it very difficult to pass stool,as it seems to her very straining and stools are like goats feces it consistency or not at al?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soften stools: Infants transitioning diets to solids may not get enough fiber / fluids in diet; 5 gm of fiber daily, try pureeing vegetables, fruits and use of infant cereals with adequate amount of fiber, an average sized 11 month old should have about 32 oz of fluids daily. If these measures are not helpful, baby will need further evaluation
