Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. Hello dear parent! It is advisable to check with your child’s paediatrician regarding this matter. A personal medical evaluation might be required to understand the underlying causes. Increase the liquid and fibre intake of your child. Serve your child with healthy foods in cute Babyhug bowls and plates to encourage healthy eating
