Whole milk digestion issue
Hi, My daughter is on formula (Nan Pro) milk right from her birth. And now we have introduced whole milk after she completed 1 year. I am giving her full cream milk with 50:50 ratio of milk and water once in early morning and once at night before bed.
She is passing hard stools from the time we introduced whole milk.
I also give fruit juice or buttermilk daily once in the evening.
Can you please suggest if how I can take care of this.

Hi
This is the common concern we across
U have done a right thing by introducing dilutedcows milk only after one year.good job
Usually around 300-400 ml of milk per day is advicable for children .more than that would lead to constipation issues,anemia etc
So,u limit milk intake
Encourage more water
Increase fiber diet
Include fruit and vegetable serving in the daily diet
It needs to be addressed immediately.prolonged constipation would lead to so many issues in the future.
I hope I have answered your query
Feel free to ask if any
