Hi,

You can try out other brands of formula milk. Along with this what is more important is wean him using homemade food.

Since you are already using ragi porridge you can also start with watery dal (pulses water) and ground spinach soup, mashed potatoes.

If he can tolerate you can also introduce your baby to the mashed egg yolk and mashed bananas. Adding mashed vegetables will help relieve constipation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
