A. Our child is 3 yrs 10 months. We are having a similar issue. Our child poops only in standing position in his underwear and refuses and cries to sit on any potty seat / potty chair / other alternative. Since he was 2 years, we have been patiently and consistently trying this with him in an encouraging manner, but no luck yet. Would be very grateful if you could share ideas / methods that worked in your child's case.

A. constipation in children is common in which diet modification is important like including high fibres in the diet for which you can give seasonal fruits like papaya, watermelon and seasonal vegetables will also help , can give daliya or oatsmeal also to your child which is rich in fibres and nutrients too. giving excess of milk may also cause constipation, so you should limit its quantity.also avoid banana which may aggravate .lactulose or polyethylene glycol is of good help, sorbdilene is also an alternative but you should give any medicine or suppository only when prescribed by your pediatrician.. medication isi the secondary option.diet modification is the key.plenty of liquids are of great help too.
