Hi mama, first of all.. I’d like to let you know that you’re doing really great.
What you’re experiencing is very normal for babies and it’s just a phase and it would soon pass . I’ve experienced it 4 times. I just kept breastfeeding a lot, it wasn’t filling her but at least she wasn’t starving. Don’t worry about her weight gain, she’ll definitely pick up when she starts eating again. What matters is that she’s healthy and from the playing and being active, it’s safe to assume that. You can have pediatrician check her and confirm she’s okay just to put your mind at ease. I hope this helps, all the best.

Various factors can lead to constipation in children. Common causes include early toilet training and changes in diet. Fortunately, most cases of constipation in children are temporary.
Treatment of constipation includes, consuming plenty of fluid.......as children increase in age increases the amount of water they must take each day. Give drugs to help with the stools to come out....what we call laxatives of which there are different types - sometimes we need to combine them. Examples of such drugs include liquid paraffin, lactulose, sorbitol etc. Eat Plenty of food rich in fiber especially fruits and vegetables. Some of these fruits are also rich in the laxative agent sorbitol like Prunes, apple and so on
