Dairy issue maybe?

Question

My son seems to always have a problem with bowel movements. Sometimes he does well but mostly it takes him a while to go and it’s a hard process both to get it out and what he passes. He drinks a good amount of water each day but loves his milk. Wondering if maybe he isn’t tolerating milk well. Anyone else have this problem and switching to milk alternative help?

Answer

My son was on the same boat I switched him to lactose free milk and you don’t really taste the difference

Answer

I haven’t had that problem but my son gets orange juice in the morning usually with breakfast and I think that’s a big part in keeping him regular! We don’t do juice any other time unless I’ve noticed he’s a little more constipated than usual and all it takes is a little cup and he’s on the way to the potty lol

Answer

My daughter definitely gets constipated a lot, she used to drink a ton of milk. We now try to limit her to 3 dairy servings a day, but she asks for it constantly so sometimes she gets more. We make sure she drinks a ton of water (we have a 24 ounce water bottle for her and she usually drinks the whole thing in one day, sometimes more) and lately I've been giving her 2-4 prunes every couple days which seems to help a lot. She was holding her poops because it was hurting to go which made her constipation worse. The prunes are a stool softener so they make it easier to go, and if you're consistent with giving them, they should really ease the constipation. Dairy can contribute to constipation even if your tot doesn't have an intolerance for it.

Answer

My son has trouble so we limit his dairy, & he LOVES almond milk!
