my baby is 2 years 5 months old and has been suffering from constipation for the last 8 months. Stool is often hard and sometimes painful to pass. We have used medicines before, but the problem keeps coming back after stopping them.
Can you please help us find the root cause and suggest a long-term or permanent treatment plan?

Question

Accepted Answer

The "P" Fruits: Offer fruits that naturally loosen stool. Think pears, plums, peaches, and prunes. Prune or pear juice mixed with a little water can work wonders.

Increase Fluids: Make sure they are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. If they are consuming a large amount of cow's milk, try cutting back slightly, as excess milk can sometimes cause constipation in toddlers.

Fiber Boost: Introduce fiber-rich foods gradually. Whole-grain breads, oatmeal, broccoli, and beans are great options.
