How can I relieve my breastfed baby's constipation?

My breastfed baby has constipation. What should I do?

Most likely it’s normal as a baby who is breastfed may be absorbing all of the mother's milk with little waste. But if there is fussiness and the stools are not just infrequent but firm try modifying moms' diet - the first thing to try to remove and see the impact after 5-10 days would be cow milk and dairy.
