What Causes Constipation In An Infant Upon Starting Solid Food?

My baby is almost 7 months old now and we have started solid since he was 6. He is constipated now..very hard stool...i am giving him nestle oat and prunes cereal, prunes and apple puree and butternut squash and sweet potato puree. Using S26 gold progress formula. I have stopped giving him formula for few days to see if it will improve the constipation but stil the same. Also given him 3 ml of Actilax twice but didnt help

Hello,
It will resolve by it own.
Consult a pediatrician if symptoms persist long and we have to rule out conditions like hypothyroidism
