Add some benefiber: This is one of my favorite otc fibers for kids...It has no odor, taste, or coloring...It can be added to cooking, sprinkled on foods, put in juice/milk and your child won't even know it. It is a natural fiber that is known to be healthy/benefitial in the long-term use. Cut down of the juices, increase water may help. If not helpful, consult doc..Good luck.
