2 1/2 yr DD constipated since Thursday!

[mum2phoebs]

My DD had a brilliant toilet routine up until a fortnight ago. But since having chicken pox she hardly poos! She hasn't been since Thursday, spends half the day saying she wants to go, but take her to the loo and NOTHING! She is obviously in pain as now won't go to bed and had to fall asleep on daddy!

Tried orange juice, warm water, massage, leg cycling, grapes...but still nothing!

Any advice appreciated.

prunes (or prune juice), dried apricots. Is she taking plenty of fluids?

oooh,m had a thread on just this a couple of weeks ago, my dd who is just 3 did same. she waited nearly a flippin week!!
go digging the recipes for thumbwitch's oaty banana cookies - they really do work
will find you a link and see if there's anything useful on there
ahh, the joys of mumsnet. Always talking about poo

Glycerin Suppositories.. brought over the counter at the chemist.. will guarantee that she will go within minutes...

we love Poo-Threads

good luck!

Thanks - she's having plenty of fluids. Will head to the chemist first thing tomorrow and go and get some prunes!
