Constipation
My 5 years old daughter is a fussy eater. She is suffering constipation problem badly. She doesn't want to eat anything healthy like veggies, fruits, rice , chapati, dal etc. Always she wants fried food, junk food, cold drinks. I have already stopped to buy these foods. But she doesn't eat anything properly. She eats very very small quantity. She takes  minimum 1 hr to finish her food. She also takes her whole lunch back to home.She loves plain oats with some salt and garam masala, and fish. Can I give her oats regularly? I am really very frustrated. Can I give her pediasure? Please suggest me a diet chart for her.

Hi mam I understand your frustration Fuusy eating behaviours r more common now a days and r very difficult to handle by parents My first advice is avoid worrying or stressed too much for this because kids will react further more when you are anxious and worried for this eating behaviour Make your kid to join family meals encourage to have same food served for other and let her eat Ask her to make her own food menu involve her in minor cooking things or let her be with you while cooking Make food presentation attractive in different shapes colours natural,use variety of decorations with veggies Try changing reciepies constantly Avoud punishing and rewarding too Make meal time happy with stories small play talk to her freely avoid being stressed if does nt eat or skip food dont spend more than 20 min -30 min remove plate silently Remember when your kid have little which is enough for them to be active whole day Believe and accept your kid has small tummy needs small quantities in frequent intervals
