How can I help my baby when they strain to have a bowel movement and the stool is very dry and hard?

Patient's question:

Stool is very difficult to pass; and it comes out in the form of balls; it is very dry and hard; and the baby also eats a lot. Past treatment and effectiveness: The baby drinks a lot of water every day; fruits and vegetables are also eaten; pear water is also drunk; and suppositories have also been used, but they are not effective. What help is desired: Is there any medicine that can be used to solve this problem? It's very heartwarming to see the baby like this.

Doctor's answer:

The baby's stool is hard, mainly because of insufficient water in the body or high protein content in the food with less fiber, which makes it more difficult to pass. Drinking water on an empty stomach when waking up in the morning is most effective for digesting water. You can gradually provide a small cup of yogurt daily, as the probiotics in it can effectively regulate the intestines and stomach. Dragon fruit, white radish water, and apple puree should be eaten more. Avoid extremely cold, sour, spicy, and greasy foods.
