#asktheexpert my girl suffering from constipation

A. If your girl is suffering from constipation, try giving her plenty of fluids and adding fiber-rich foods like fruits (apples, pears, prunes), vegetables, and whole grains to her diet. Encourage regular physical activity and establish a consistent potty routine to help her bowel movements. Avoid giving too many processed or low-fiber foods. If constipation continues for more than a few days or causes pain, bleeding, or distress, it’s best to consult a pediatrician for proper treatment.
