Suggestions for a constipated LO?
My 11 month old is very constipated and it’s causing lots of trapped wind and she’s not sleeping at night out of pain.
Any tips on what to give her? Any food/meal suggestions? Or things to avoid? Thanks ☺️

@Sandy that’s really helpful 💚 did they offer any medication?
Yes, Coloxyl stool softener and a Microlax enema
@Sandy how many days was your LO constipated before you went to the doctor?
7 days, he was passing very small nuggets everyday, but we could see it was becoming more painful for him
For a quick relief add 1.5tsp of brown sugar to 3 oz of boiled water and give her an oz at a time but no more than 3oz a day. I’ll warn you though if she’s anything like my little boy, you’ll get through a few nappies this afternoon / evening!! Good luck x
My son is the same, and he won’t drink from any kind of cup, so being dehydrated makes it worse!

I just took my 10-month old to the doctor for constipation and she said lots of fruit, especially raspberries and blueberries.
