Help me??

Question

My 18 month have been so constipated for the longest. He poops but it's hard and look like little tinny round balls. I have tried everything the doctors suggested but I would like to change his diet and I don't know what to feed him other than what he eats now which are basically what I eat. I have tried giving him prune juice which he hates so much, apple juice and I tried giving him fruits such as pears and bananas. I even tried the water gripe for constipation. Nothing is helping. I am tired of calling his doctor. Please how are your babies doing with their poop and how is their diet?

Answer

Watermelon, steamed carrots, berries

Answer

My son has had super super bad constipation since he was like 6 months old. His doctor suggested a probiotic powder we mix in his apple juice every day

Answer

I have given my son half a fiber one bar when he hadn’t pooped for a couple days and it did help. It usually happens when we are having fun and he doesn’t drink enough water. He won’t eat prunes but he will eat pears, he doesn’t really like juice. Oatmeal or high fiber cereal helps in the morning a lot too.

Answer

Green veggies with every meal

Answer

Ok so bananas can cause constipation! As can rice, bread, cheese, applesauce! So nix those. 
Does he like water or milk? Increase fluids and just have a cup constantly available. 
Pears are good, as are berries, peaches, apricots, figs, plums. You could mix them up to a smoothie with more almond milk or something (my son loves smoothies). I don’t give 2 hoots about giving my son “too much” fruit. I also put coconut sugar in his oatmeal and he gobbles it up! Lol whatever works! 
My son also hates prune and apple juice, don’t sweat it. Whole fibre is also good for their bowel. I give my son steel cut oats pretty regularly and he seems to have good poops! But not sure if it would help your boy or not. :) give it a google. Good luck!!

Answer

My kiddo has pretty good (and big haha) poops 💩 
He doesn’t eat any processed food though. No chips no cookies (ok on occasion!) and we try to limit unnatural sugars. 
He generally eats oats grains fruits veggies. He’s also a picky eater. He loves yogurt as well. 
From what I understand bananas actually constipate you ! It’s part of the BRAT diet when you’re sick. 
I would remove beverages aside from water and apple juice feed him lots and lots of fruit and food with fiber. Maybe ask if he can have a fiber 1 bar? 
I hope some or any of this helped !!

Answer

fletcher laxatives for infants is MAGIC, and it is gentle!!!  it does not work immediately, take a a few hours, but then let's them poop without making it too runny, and without pain!  I like it for my son because it is gentle and does not cause gas or any pain.  It softens his stools and makes it easier to pass.  The very first time I think I gave him 5 ml and then a few hours later gave him another 5, and within about 6 hours total he able to poop and feel so much better!  When he was on medicine that backed him up I think i sually gave it to him every two or three days, and it would just help keep him regular.   I bought it at the local grocery store, but pic below.
