Hi.... she might be having this constipation because of ragi in her diet. Ragi is very rich in calcium which predisposes to constipation. I suggest you reduce the ragi and her diet and also include papaya and banana in her diet. I do not suggest using laxatives at this tender age as it might cause severe diarrhoea or it can become habit. I also suggest you restrict the milk intake to maximum 400 ml per day till this constipation is relieved.
