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

A. Yes That’s mostly constipation is very common at this age for kids because they do not have too much of water and fibre rich diet and after introducing solids which is why this happens so you should always give good amount of water to the child as of now to regulate the system of the child
