DD constipated since starting on cows milk

My DD turned one a couple of weeks ago and has started drinking full fat cows milk. Since then she’s been having really hard stools, or periods of constipation. I spoke to our HV and GP and both just recommended giving her a laxative twice a day.

That did help but I don’t want her relying on laxatives. She was formula fed before which is obviously cows milk based so I’m not sure why it’s affecting her so badly. She’s eaten yogurt, cheese and other dairy products with no issues from about six months. I’m at a bit of a loss what to do. Has anyone been in a similar situation and what did you do?

A few oz of diluted cloudy apple juice helped mine with this.
