Anyone have the same experience and any suggestions? I will discuss with our family doctor next visit.

14-Month-old Is Constipated

My 14-month-old son is constipated a few times a week. I have been in contact a few times with the pediatrician's office and am doing everything I can. This started when he was switched over from formula to whole milk. Also, he does not drink much water. I am always forcing it on him, but he won't drink much.

He still has problems with constipation. ...
