Constipation: Give extra fluid, oatmeal cereal, vegetable and more fiber in food, some prune juice. Avoid fatty, oil fried food. 2 year and above, usually gets 2% milk. Reduce milk intake for few days, yogort can be given. If not better, use miralax, (polyethylene glycol) 2 teaspoonful with 8 ounces of water, milk or juice 1-2 times daily. Another choice is mineral oil, 1-2 teaspoonful 1-2 times daily with food. Talk to her md.
