Hi,

You can give any foods according to his wish. Foods with high fiber content will improve digestion and will prevent constipation. It is better to avoid goat milk as the bowel may not tolerate it. Include more fruits and vegetables to the diet to get adequate micronutrients.

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