I feel your pain!!
My son went through a bout of constipation for about 6 months when he was 3. After a week of solid BMs that were causing hairline fissures I decided to make him soft poop smoothies, these he ate every day after breakfast and it made a world of difference.
2 years after this I had a daycare boy who had issues: HUGE ISSUES. This poor kid was tiny except his abdomen which was always distended and bloated looking and he constantly LEAKED this horrible smelling poop liquid... ALL DAY LONG!!
His mom was the same as the above mentioned parents and just didn't want to deal with it but I finally convinced her to take him to the doctor who recommended a daily miralax and weekly suppository laxative to make him go. I finally asked her if I could make him this smoothie to try and she agreed and it helped but there were way more issues than just normal constipation.
This was the smoothie: 1 banana, 1 pear, 3 prunes and an individual container of vanilla yogurt. I also added a squirt of ready whip to the top with a cherry to make it more appealing
