giving excess of milk may also cause constipation, so you should limit its quantity.also avoid banana which imay aggravate .lactulose or polyethylene glycol is of good help, sorbilenbe is also an option but you should give any medicine or suppository only when prescribed by your pediatrician.. medication is the secondary option.diet modification is the key.plenty of liquids are of great help too.
