Constipation: You can use baby lax a small baby suppository to relieve the pain and have bowel movement instantaneously. On long run to prevent you can give mineral oil 1 tsp mixed with orange juice, quite safe in pediatrics. Avoid food that causes constipation like white pasta. All this only if baby is not vomiting or crying due to abdominal pain otherwise take him to a pediatrician.

Rx for constipation: Almost always secondary to child's diet. Check Google for what foods contribute to constipation. Take them out of kid's diet and problem will resolve spontaneously.
