ExpertRamya RamachandranNutritionist7 years agoA. Dear ma'am, how much ml of milk per day are you giving? Your child needs fluids and fiber to soften the stools. Milk has higher amount of fat and calcium but no fiber. Too much milk intake will eventually lead to constipation and it will also interfere with iron absorption. Hence limit the intake to 400ml per day. To relieve constipation you can give prune juice/papaya. Gently massage her abdomen. Regular toilet training habit is essential.

Shaista TarannumMom of a 17 yr old boy7 years agoA. yes...too much milk and less of fibrous foods will cause constipation. limit the milk intake if you think so. give lots and lots of fibre rich foods. give more of green leafy vegetables and fruits. give pear fruit. give boiled corn regularly. give more water. avoid too much sugary stuff and maida biscuits. If your baby has completed 6 months of age then you can soak a few raisins in the water in the night. In the morning just give a few teaspoons of the raisin water to the baby.this helps relieve constipation. there is a drink called Ovaltine that you can make by mixing with milk. its chocolate flavour. just like bournvita or boost. If your baby has completed 2 years give that regularly for a few days. all these helped my son when he had severe constipation.
