Hello,

I have a one year old child who is constipated and is On Sofsena laxative..i am just wondering if Ragi constipates cause I am careful with her diet and dont want to give her anything that can worsen the constipation

I give her Ragi and Johar porridge at night..she loves it but her bowel movements is once in 2 days and hard ...so I want to find out if Ragi can be given to a consitpated child.
thanks,

I' m a mother of 14 months old baby.Once she had severe constipation and she cried a lot.Her doctor suggested us to give her prune juice which adults take.It really worked wonders.Hope it will help you.Give her more water as much as she can.Good luck!!!!!!!My sincere advise is not to use laxatives.if you use that for prolonged periods, your babies bowel movement will depend on laxatives.So please think about it. Hetal replied. some babies were sensitive to ragi,,and so had cnstipation probs..so if your baby is already constipated,,wait a while until he recovers from cnstipatn,,and watch her bowels...
same goes with johar,,,
age doesnt matter when your child doesnt have normal health conditions..

once normal start one by one,,offer her 100% juices once a day around 4-5oz and it should help.
good luck
