My DD is constipated almost all of the time. When she was in nappies not so much of an issue but now in pants BIG issue. She is 2.4, potty trained for wee but poos in pants. Terrified of the poo and screams for days at the thought/pain etc.
Its all very distressing.
When she was a month old she had colic (apparently) and was given colief which if I remember rightly removes the lactose from the milk no?
So, I have to do something, going mad here. Do I try lactose free milk or try to move her to soya.
Quick history, her half-sister is allergic to nuts and was until recently intolerant to soya.
Help me please. She drinks A LOT of milk every day, perhaps 20oz? She has no other dairy to speak of, only a little butter on toast and a yogurt every other day.
I am trying those actimel (little bottles) to help with the digestive transit (!) am I making it worse???
Final point, she is not a child who eats other than when he is very hungry (hence she has so much milk!). So 'upping' veggies, fruit, juices etc is a challenge as she simply won't eat if not hungry.
Any advice very gratefully received.
