RE:Consticipation for 4 years old

This is an old thread but one thing no-one said was that exercise is important for gut motility. All the green veg and pear juice will be limited in their effectiveness if the kid isn't very physically active (just walking more and driving less helps!)
Also, my usual comment - use a child-size glycerin suppository if he's gone for two or more days without doing a do.

Try avoiding wheat and milk initially. Once he improves start adding little by little.

Constipation

Constipation is a very common problem among children. My daughter who will turn 4 in july has the same problem. Mothers can try home remedy like giving Isabgol in hot milk at night. can also give plenty of liquids and fruits like grapes and papaya

Include honey in his diet. Also papaya , pears, grapes and prunes help in softening of the motion.

Hi DeviBala

My daughter who is now 4 1/2 years used to constipate a lot when she was 2 years old.We gave her greens daily for lunch and a banana in the morning and evening.We made her to drink lot of water and gave her food that contains lot of fibre like beans,dhal,chappathi,fruits,etc.If you cook non-vegetarian food, add vegetables to it.

When your son wakes up in the morning,ask him to sit in the potty for 10 minutes whether he goes or not.Then it will become a habit for him and he will try to push the stools out.As Mukta suggested, you can give prune juice.You can try 50 ml for the first day and you can increase the juice quantity according to your sons need.If you give lot of prune juice, then he will end up having diarrhoea.
I followed all the above said things and now my daugter does not constipates.
All the best.
