I have this little guy that is so constipated he cries when he tries. His mom has given him prune juice, chocolate milk, apple juice anything she can think of.
or sugar water. but i don't think you can give that to dck's????
chocolate milk is still milk, and milk makes it harder. i used to laugh at my boys, they always had hard turds because they drank so much milk, it would come out in little hard balls, and when you opened the diaper, if you weren't careful, you'd be chasing it.
Light corn syrup. My daughter had constipation issues and I think I mixed in 1 or 2 Tbsp into her bottle. I honestly can't remember the "dosage". I just used clear Karo syrup, but any clear corn syrup should do the trick.
On a side note, maybe more roughage like lettuce, fruits, veggies and fiber. Or cut down on cheese, meat, peanut butter...
Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.
I have a parent that uses medamucil for their child it is the same as for adults. Not sure how much she mixes it seems to work like a charm she gives it a couple times a week and it keeps everything flowing like it should. You would have to ask the pharmacy how much to give though they just mix it in juice and she doesn't know it is there.
High fiber fruits/vegies: pears/grapes/lime beans/broccoli. . . has she tried Fiber One snacks/cereal or the powdered fiber sublements? Milk is constipating. Avoid bananas
DD was having issues, even though we tried altering her diet. Dr. told us to do Milk of Magnesia. Then we ended up having to move up to Miralax. For Miralax it's half a capful mixed with 4-8oz of any beverage.
When I was pregnant, the nurse said to try apples and also graham crackers.
I had a little boy who we tried EVERYTHING with. When he turned two the doctor told his mom to buy "Pedia Lax Fiber Gummies". They are made by "Fleet" and I think she buys them at CVS. These have been an absolute Godsend!! He loves them and they truly work!! She gave me a bottle to keep here and I give him one after naptime. She gives him another each morning.
I you think my hands are full you should see my heart!
My daughter's 2 and she's been constipated since she was a baby. It got worse as she got older. Now we are giving her maralax in her milk EVERY morning and that seems to be working. Only problem.... she now holds her BMs in!!! Never ends...
