What Can I Do To Avoid Constipation For A Two Year Old Infant?
Dear sir, My son is 2 years old now. He has constipation and we tried Looz syrup after consulting with our family doctor.
We have given him 10 ml twice a day and he passed well . After 3 days we stopped giving Looz syrup. Now again he is struggling to pass stool. So what is the permanent solution that avoids constipation for him.
Below is the diet plan:
Early morning (5am - 6am) : Milk (150 ml) or Ragi mix
Breakfast (9am – 10am) : Idly with sambar / curd/milk (OR) Wheat uppma with curd (OR) Rice with Rasam (OR) dosa with sambar AND around 50 ml water
11 am - Milk 150 ml
11.30 to 2 pm – Sleep
2.30 pm – Pomegranate Juice / Musambi juice -100 ml
Lunch (3 to 4pm) –Rice with Ghee / Rasam/ curd/Dhall (Once in a week spinach added in his meals)
6.30pm – Banana 1
8.30 pm - Milk 150 ml
9.30 he used to go to sleep.
12 am – Milk 100ml
3 am –Milk 100ml
He always wake up by 6 am in the morning.
Thanks, Bala

the milk protein reacting with bodyproteins as the child need breast milk for 2 years and after that need no milk
when we add cow milk the animal proteins are not competiblewith human proteins causing constipation
as you withdraw milk and diary the child will be normal slowly
i have thousands of patients treated like this
in my opinion you can try and add milk few yars later
add other proteins in diet
