Hi, kindly advice on what I should give my baby girl aged 5 months, I recently introduced her to some infant porridge & a small piece of pawpaw because my milk supply reduced after I resumed work. Her stool is so dry & hard to pass plus she is crying a lot while pooping. Please help me.

Since she is not yet 6 months, If possible could you withdraw all the food and give formula only. If this is not possible, make porridge from ugali flour like Jogoo or Pembe, add a bit of oil and make it a bit thick. Do not add milk. Give three times a day. Also give water as well. For fruits and other foods wait until baby is already 6 months. Some babies constipate on pawpaw so you can also avoid it.
