ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician4 years agoA. Give more fiber-rich fruits and vegetables and drinking more water will help in constipation.
Offer foods such as wholemeal bread and wholegrain cereal, plus fruits and vegetables such as prunes, figs, apricots, plums, peas, broccoli, sweetcorn, potatoes and baked beans.
Give your child plenty of fluids to help moisten her poo. Water is best, although you can offer well-diluted fruit juice too .
Dried fruits such as figs, raisins, apricots and dates are very rich sources of fibre. They help maintain good gut health and help prevent constipation in children.
Encourage children to have more outdoor activity in the sunlight. Physical activity helps stimulate the appetite and bowel movements
Have your child regularly drink warm water between meals. It makes the digestive tract stronger. encouraging proper eating habits and food combining when possible, sufficient water intake, high quality oils, and providing plenty of high fiber foods can be helpful in the prevention of constipation.
