My 1 year old baby constipated

Hello
I'm so stressed about my baby's constipation. He's turning 1 this Sunday. I just started giving him cows milk instead of formula. He's drinking 4 times a day. Could that be making him do hard stools? He's so eating so less. I need advice please. What kind of food do I give him that won't make him constipated? I'm going to cut down on his milk now. I give him pear and prune juice. He's putting so much effort in trying to do poo but it's stuck. I can't see him cry in pain I cry too. Please someone give me advice 😥 I'm doing everything wrong it seems like 🙁 I give him warm water but don't always boil it could that also do harm? Please anyone to help me

Same position with my little one. Visited pharmacy and they gave Lactulose and its really helped within 24hours. Increased water intake and included diluted apple juice due to sorbitol content. Much happier baby 😊

Hi HarmonieSky

Doctor also gave Lactulose but I want to avoid giving that and make him better with fruit veg but he eats so less.
