Hello!

Or 3 year old eats a lot of fruit but had been constipated for nearly 3 days

  • I always first made sure they drink enough water, add fiber to the diet, cut down on processed and constipating foods, give prune juice, soaked prunes, kiwi’s, no banana ! Also make sure your child moves enough. Another easy one is belly massages, clockwise around the belly button


  • Sprinkle unprocessed bran on his foods. He won’t be able to taste it but it will really help with the constipation.


  • Increase water and fibre intake and try kiwi fruit as well.


  • Is he having lots of water also? I find prune juice works well, or puréed prunes or whole prunes. Olive oil is good too, try drizzling over his meals
