Constipation: Holding in toddlers is common and so is constipation. Limiting milk to 16 ops/d is good and you can give a baby glycerin supp if no stopping x 2 days or pain, or mineral oil 2 tsp at bedtime. More prune juice, Reduce starches also: rice, noodles, pudding, potatoes. Welcome to health tap, Dr. Ivy Fisher
