Increase fluids: Most important to intermittent constipation is to make sure the child is getting plenty of fluids. At 10 months, can add a few ounces of water to daily formula intake, and if stools are harder than normal, a few ounces of juice can be added from a cup as well. Don't get into habit of juice from a bottle. Add extra fiber into diet. If persists, talk to doc about what meds may help, like miralax (polyethylene glycol).

Non constipating : Make sure first of all she is well hydrated.Not with juice or tea but water. More than 20 oz of milk products also are constipating. Give her friuts that start with the letter "p" ..... Peaches, pears, papaya, pineapple etc. Bananas, apples, rice, carrots constipate.
