Constipation/ child: Consider 4 oz prune juice once a day. Usually there is constipation due to insufficient fluids. Children of this age need about 1.3 liters of fluid a day so about ten 4 oz servings. Some you get in food - 20% or two 4 oz servings but the rest should be fluid . Oatmeal, avocados, carrots provide fiber and help as well . f/u/ w/ pediatrician
