A. constipation in children is common in which diet modification is required that is including high fibres in the diet for which you can give seasonal fruits like papaya, watermelon and seasonal vegetables will also help you can give daliya , oatsmeal also to your child which is rich in fibres and nutrients tooo. 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, sorbilene is also an option but you should give any medicine or suppository only when prescribed by your pediatrician.. medication is the secondary opltion.diet modification is thne key.plenty of liquids are of great help too.

A. Alongwith the recommend syrup, include fiber rich foods in the diet of baby like oats with nuts, dry fruits, beans, broccoli, green leafy vegetables, carrots, peas, puffed rice, bread, apple or prune juice, fruits with peels and lots of water to improve digestion. Massage the stomach in circular motion and move legs in cycling rotation to improve metabolism. Keep her physically active and limit sitting for longer time.
