Constipated: You need to change his diet by reducing milk and milk products, increasing fiber in the diet in the form of fruits and vegetables, nuts, prunes, dates, and figs. Also give your child high fibered cereals. Use MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) to stimulate his stoolfor now.

Constipation: To keep the BMs regular and soft make sure your baby is eating lots of fibre in the form of fruits and vegetables. Also keep up with fluids like water and some juice daily. Sometimes it is advisable to cut back on dairy like milk and cheese.
