It's quite normal for babies to have constipation during the introduction of semi-solid foods. Do not panic. It can be corrected with few simple steps. As I can see from your baby's diet chart, solid food is only 10%. You have to increase the quantity of solid food against milk. And also experiment a variety of foods. You get many age-appropriate recipes online. Some tips to avoid constipation: 1. Give water in between feeds (around 30-60 ml in the entire day for 7 month old) 2. Some high fibre foods- sweet potato, ripe banana, avacado, beans puree, peas puree, spinach, pear puree help in regularising stools. For information on diet chart for a 7 month baby with timings, you can refer to this informative link by Neha Goyal: httpsw.beinghappymom.com/baby-food-chart-indian-months-plan/

Health Tips

Start with stop milk for 4hrs &give semisolid diet for 15day, next 15days stop milk for 8hrs &give semisolid diet, lastly stop milk from 8amto8pm &give semisolid diet. For your knowledge, 100ml milk gives 70 calories of energy. 100ml juices give 55 calories of energy, 100gm food gives 350calories of energy
