What do you incorporate into your lo’s daily diet to help prevent constipation?

Question

My lo poops every day, but every once in awhile she has those hard pellets so I treat it with constipation ease, but I swear I feel like It’s a constant battle. What do you recommend adding to her diet to help prevent this?

Answer

Water, prunes, peas. I would give my daughter this stuff to her maybe once or twice a week. It is very gentle. Did the trick. We struggled quite a bit and it didn’t matter how much water or fruit I gave her. The more regular food she eats the less of an issue it is.

Answer

It’s not common for my son but when his poops start to have a bit more of a clay kind of consistency, he eats beets and/or yogurt.  We have tried other things that have worked but that he just doesn’t like as much.  Things like pumpkin, squash, zucchini, pears, prunes.  My son isn’t really picky and will eat whatever I give him, but those are our successful foods for naturally treating constipation.  The beets always work(for adults too).

Answer

Cut a little back on the milk if the poops hard - some kids drink tons of milk and they really don’t need that much. 
3 spoonfuls of prunes or prunes mixed in yogurt. Also chia seeds in oatmeal or yogurt help.

Answer

Probiotics and lots of water

Answer

Plenty of water, fruit and veg, yoghurt with a probiotic (or probiotic drops. But we also are conscious not to give too many constipating foods like limiting to only 1 slice of cheese within a day, trying to avoid too much processed food.

Answer

Maybe a yogurt with some probiotics?

Answer

Our son would eat nothing but fruit if we let him, so that’s one way. He also has constant access to water at home (he has a water cup that sits in a certain spot that he can go get a drink whenever he wants).

Answer

My son eats lots and lots of fresh fruit and that usually does the trick. And if he’s having one of those weird almost clay type poops, we go straight for some sugar free apple sauce and that usually does the trick lol.

Answer

Mainly try to keep up his water intake. He is so fussy with food so I would live to get some fresh fruit into him but I might as well wish for a winning lottery ticket. Hope you little one is better soon.
