What should I do if my baby is constipated after weaning at eight months?

Patient's question:

I want to ask that when my baby is eight months old and I have stopped breastfeeding, she is afraid to drink formula milk and has been fed porridge instead. During the weaning period, constipation reappeared. She hasn't urinated for three days, and later when I used suppositories, she strained to have a bowel movement, which caused her skin to tear. The day before yesterday, her stool was normal, but yesterday she couldn't have a bowel movement again. Today, I used suppositories again, and she had a bowel movement with blood, followed by a lot of sticky, white discharge similar to mucus. What is this? What should I do?
