Reg constipation in toddler
Hi Doctors. My son is 1.5 years old and he always has constipation . He tries to poop but it never comes out. When it does its very hard. He poop once in 2-3 days and that too its difficult for him to do so. I try giving him fibrous food like daliya, carrots ,oats upma and all but nothing helps. I give
him cow milk as an add on. Any suggestions on this?

Constipation is common at this age. Ensure your child takes adequate fluids, fruits (papaya, pear, prunes), vegetables, and whole grains. Limit excess cow’s milk as it may worsen constipation. Encourage regular physical activity. If symptoms persist despite dietary changes, a pediatrician may prescribe a stool softener like lactulose for short-term use.
Next Steps
Please seek immediate care if there is blood in stool, persistent vomiting, abdominal swelling, or severe pain.
