Constipation
My 19mo switched to almond milk about a month ago because our pediatrician said it would probably help with her poops.
Her poops aren’t getting any better, I’m at a loss :( I don’t know how to help her not be so constipated. She has water throughout the day, has prune juice mixed with her almond milk, eats lots of fruit & graham crackers.
Does anyone else have some suggestions??

How much milk are you giving
@Ciara 12ish ounces a day (2 6oz bottles)
My daughter has had this problem since she switched to cows milk at 1 and she's 20m now. We have given her miralax (half a cap full) per Drs orders and we went to see a gastroenterologist who suggested using milk of magnesia or these magnesium tablets by the pedia-lax brand (it has a penguin on the front) to see if that helps her. If not we have to do tests but I switched my daughter to oat milk, she drinks juice, water, eats fruit and nothing but the miralax and these tablets have helped so far

my baby(13mo) has been struggling with the same issue. i’ve done everything possible to try and get him to poop on his own. right now i’ve been doing suppository’s once a week, and then through the week before the next one, we give him more fiber foods and everything and still isn’t working. now we just got prescribed with a powder laxative so hopefully that’s gonna work, but we are scheduling an appointment with a GI — we think that he just doesn’t like the feeling of when he poops because it is very hard, but he hasn’t shown any complaints of discomfort at all,
