Thank you for reaching out. Constipation can sometimes happen in children, especially if there have been recent changes in diet or hydration.
Could you please let me know your childâs age? This will help me suggest age-appropriate measures to relieve constipation safely.
In the meantime, some gentle tips that can help include:
Hydration: If your child is old enough for water, small amounts throughout the day can aid digestion.
Leg Exercises: Moving the legs in a bicycle motion while lying on the back can also encourage digestion.
Diet Adjustments: For children already on solids, fiber-rich fruits like prunes or pears (age-appropriate servings) may be beneficial.
Next Steps
If constipation continues beyond a few more days or you notice signs of discomfort, abdominal swelling, or reduced appetite, itâs best to check with a pediatrician.
Health Tips
Please let me know the age, and Iâll be happy to provide further guidance.
