22 month daughter with constipation

[ADealingMummy]

My toddler DD has had constipation for the past 3 days,she's straining to go, really sweating up with the effort, but nothing.
I really would like any advice on how to get things moving.
She's straining to go, really sweating up with te effort, but nothing.

i have this occasionally with dd who's now 3, would she be encouraged to drink more water? or eat more fruit? have you tried (brown) sugared water? you may need to tkae her to docs for some lactulose, unless some other mner's have better suggestions.

Thankyou Morten , I have just sent DH into the snow to get some OJ, and will take her to the docs tomorrow am,if there is no improvement.

When this happened with my ds I was told to boil up raisins/sultanas, mush them and strain then give him the juice to drink. It used to work for him.

Thanks for your reply sullied youth

ooh i might use that when dd refuses to use toilet agauin then.

In the end I sent DH out into the snow to get prune juice, and put a splash into her juice (disguised by pure OJ), and also into her night milk. This worked amazingly.
