Help with LOs constipation

How do you all combat constipation, the doctor always says you control it with what you feed them. What all do you feed your kids now?

We've never experienced Joshua being constipated. The child eats almost everything - except he is not big on meat yet. He currently loves tomatoes. DH took him to a cafeteria style place yesterday - even though he had fed him lunch about an hour before they went he still ate a plate of tomatoes, half of DH's mashed potatoes, some turnip greens and a couple of bites of coconut pie.

Mine is a weirdo, because her favorite foods are vegetables. I try to make sure she gets whole wheat instead of refined, too, and make sure she's well hydrated. I also give her granola bars occasionally. She really likes crunchy, and I break them up into small pieces. That diaper is seriously horrific though.

We don't have an issue with this but I might try juice (that's what my pedi told me if we had issues here - apple or I'm sure prune would be good too).

JT is a terrible eater, eats mostly cheese, crackers, bananas, yogurt, has started eating those fruit pouches (I'm going to try to get some with veggies cause he's lacking) and eats NO meat and only peas!
