  DD1 has had terrible constipation on and off for over a year. Almost every BM is a struggle! She is not a big water or juice drinker and loves milk (which is very constipating) so I started watering down her milk. I make it 40% water, 60% milk. it has made a HUGE difference. I also try to limit the amount of salt in her diet. Her pediatrician said I could give her a tsp of laxative (like miralax) in her food/drink a day, but I didn't find that helpful. Hope you find somethings that works for your LO! Constipation is the worst!!

  Does your LO like fruit or even raisins? Mine would not eat fruit for a long time, but he ate a couple of different vegetables, sometimes.Without those veggies we would have been in trouble. I was glad when he finally started eating fruit. Occasionally he starts firming up too much, so I cut back on the dairy a little and try to get him to eat more fruit, except bananas. No bananas when he is constipated and I limit his banana consumption at other times.

  Sweet potatos! And I stil give my almost 3 year old pouches with spinach or really any green veggie bc he won't eat them normally. Both seem to help when he's having a hard time. And if he's pooping little nugs I put a lot of aquaphor on his bum- seems to help when he actually goes.

  Apple juice works great for my DS2. As well as getting prunes in him, either juice or puree mixed into some apple sauce or yogurt.
