*PLEASE HELP* - My son is soooo consipated

[clarabo]

I don't know what todo next, he is 11 months old, breast fed until 7mnths the aptimal, then soya as we then thought he had a lactos intolarance. Now finally im trying cows milk, I cook all his meals via Annabel Karmel, weve been to Dr, HVisitor, Craniosacral therapy, reiki, you name it!! I now am sooo upset he is in so much discomfort... Any suggestions please?...

What is his fluid intake like? DD has bad constipation due to either not drinking enough during the day, eating all the foods that make her constipated e.g bananas etc and also putting off doing poo's because a: they hurt or b: she is busy playing with toys. She has been on lots of different prescriptions and even has supositries (sp?) for emergencys. It has got better since I have started potty training her as the doctor suggested putting her on the potty everytime she has eaten because eating food helps you to open your bowels although I think you will find that difficult for an eleven month old to do! Could you possibly try supositries to help move the obstruction and then see if it gets slightly better that way?
BTW DD's poo's are still constipated but she is no longer in pain so we are hoping it will get better by itself with hopefully an imporved diet.
