Yes, straining during bowel movements and passing hard stools are common signs of constipation in infants. At 7 months, dietary changes such as introducing solid foods can often contribute to constipation.

It is advisable to consult your pediatrician for appropriate guidance on diet adjustments and safe management options for your baby.
