Almost 1 year old constipated from whole milk

Is there anything I should add to her milk to help? I tried using a suppository, but nothing else has helped. I need something natural or something I can buy and add to the milk.

Soft play with good baby area

I have an active 10 nearly 11 month old and really think she would like soft play now but concerned she would be too small.
