1. Gradually transition to solids with thicker consistency or hand mashed solids
2. If the baby is still learning to chew and swallow, alternatively give kanji/porridge or semi-solids once in a while
3. Ragi, rice, banana, apple, Sathumaavu/ health mix powder are stool binders so they constipate, give fruits like Plums, Prune(dry plums), Dry grapes or raisins, Papaya, Pineapple to loosen motion during difficult times. 
Even rava and whole wheat soften stool. (Give ragi, rice and cereals during loose motion to tighten and avoid fruits )
