NoDoctor's answer:

Additionally, insufficient food intake can also lead to too little fecal residue, causing constipation. For infants fed with milk or, they often suffer from hard lumps in the stomach due to the high content of casein in the milk, which is difficult to digest, resulting in dry and hard stools and constipation. It is recommended to gently massage the abdomen daily for constipated infants to stimulate abdominal and intestinal wall muscles, helping to expel feces.
