My 8-month-old daughter is having hard stool, I tried giving her more water but she doesn't like it. I'm wondering what to do?

It is recommended to continue giving your baby milk while introducing solid foods. Make sure your baby is drinking enough liquid throughout the day to help with constipation. You can offer water in addition to milk for babies over 6 months old. It's important to ensure they drink milk at specific times during the day and offer water during meals and after periods of activity. Massaging your baby's belly gently and moving their legs in a pedaling motion can also help with constipation. If these strategies do not work, you can consider introducing probiotics or a laxative as recommended by your healthcare provider.
