This clinical picture is resolved by shifting to supplementary food at six months The frequency of the stools increases when solid food is introduced to the diet. This phenomenon observed in babies who are feeding and growing properly, having soft stool with no abdominal distension is called pseudoconstipation or infrequent stools. It is important to promote awareness among paediatricians on this extremely normal condition in order to prevent false diagnoses and unnecessary treatments. Here, we aimed to present a case and emphasize the appropriate approach to these babies.
