Re: Home Remedies to Relieve Constipation
is your kid lactose intolerant? … if yes … soln is simple. if not then …
cut out constipating foods.
cut milk down to two cups per day.
water … this is the biggest culprit. most toddlers dont take in enough water. kids around two need approx 40-45 oz water/day … off that milk should be no more then two cups and fruit juice no more then 6oz. Rest should come from things like soups/broths, fruits with high water content (like watermelon).
fiber rich foods like broccoli, spinach, whole grains. fiber alone isnt enough … it needs to be used in conjunction with adequate hydration.
active culture yogurt
prunes and its juice, pears and apples with skin on
belly massage
dont go too many days without a poop … the poop gets harder and more painful for the kid to push out.
if already sevrely constipated you like need pediatric glycerin suppositories, or enema … use it in consultation with your pediatrician plz. once past the episode of severe constipation … implement all of the above. its really hard but watching a toddler cry n push and cry more miserably is worse.
Re: Home Remedies to Relieve Constipation
Drink plenty of water to avoid constipation; I think she/he needs to eat vegetables and fruits. Leafy greens can help us to have a good metabolism. You can also give her a food that is rich in fiber.
