my son is 10.5mnths now and is prone to constipation since birth...we had to give him enema twice. I have tried all home remedies the doc sd we shd give him fiber rich diet...so i give him veg two times a day (in khichdi) and fruit once (fruit shake). In all he takes abt 20-21 ounce of formula in a day. He was on laxatives for the last 4mnths...however abt a fortnite back he had some infection and loose motions. after the medicine all was cured...his stools were okay for two days and now again they are hard...he doesnt want to pass stools on his own...i have to hold his legs and exert presssure on his stomach...I am so upset...I want to find a solution for this prob. someone pls help me. I decided to switch to homeopathy abt a week back I dnt think its helping much :((

I know palak is gud...i add it to his khichdi...is there a more effective way to give it? gauri replied. one more thing my ped had shouted at me for giving my daughter all this..he was liek dare if u do such experiment with her ever agian ...that was in front of every1..so u better check with doc..he had said my dauhgter was normal n we use to worry looking at her poo.... gauri replied. another change i did i realised for my daughter apple n banana doesnt suit her...contrary to nachini causes consti...my daughter never had prob digesting that ....
so i dont gv now banana n apple ..
n i read rahini' s opinion she is abso' y right try to inc diet also...as i said i intro chapati on some1 suggestion n it worked ...otherwise i use to gv khimti for lunch...maybe that was less for her..as she was growing n i ddnt realise that... rahini replied. hi aks,
Mine was in same problem for 4 months since mainly due to lack of watery food , now she is having good intake of milk and semi-soild with water and even rice with lot of water so able to pass nicely.If ur formula too concentrated then sometimes leads to constipation orloose motions. if his diet is less also .if possible give his diet level since make cure soon since my sister daughter face the same problem extended upto 2yrs . gauri replied. no its diff...but u can try maunaka too...i had taken ped advice too.. her said as long as ur baby is nor crying while passing stool ther eis nothing alright it will come back to normal...but like u even i was disturbed ..tahnk god it came back to normal...even i dont knwo what was the reson for constipation... gauri replied. go thru this hetals msgs on constipation...
