My daughter had the same problem for at least a few weeks when she started drinking whole milk. For some reason, when I completely stopped breastfeeding, she was fine. No more constipation. Perhaps she started drinking more water and juice when she stopped nursing. Anyway, if the timing was coincidence, her body finally got used the the whole milk and she hasn't had any problems since. I've gradually increased the amount of milk she gets just to make sure she doesn't have problems. Try less milk and more yogurt and other dairy so that she'll still get enough calcium. Plain yogurt is so nutritious.
hi my name is Kay i am a mother of 2 a grandmother of 3 but almost every kid i know calls me either Aunt Kay or Meme honey this is normal apple juice worked for my girls . the doctor told my oldest daughter to give her kids a little Kyroe suryp in their bottles that worked wonders for her
I do not know if the whole milk causes the constipation. I would guess that her body is going through a transition and adjusting to the change. Do not start soy milk, that is not a good reason to change milk. Try 2% milk AND increasing her water intake. My 18 month old daughter does not like milk and gets very little of it everyday but she does eat cheese and yogurt a lot. So cutting back on milk and increasing water and other dairy might help. I don't like soy because of the incredible amount of hormones in it especially for little girls. Also try tummy massage and doing bicycles with her legs. good luck, constipation is no fun!
First off let me say hello
i have three children my oldest is 17 and when he was a baby he had the exact same problem.I found that soy milk was perfect for him. He quit hurting and wasn't constipated anymore and besides that he became alot more healthier and also, whole milk is harder for a little to digest and bad for their teeth if given too much.I'd say try it and see what happens or talk to your babies dr.
My son couldn't digest lactose in milk and he use to get really constipated. You could try the lactose free milk or give her lactaid tablets, before she drinks milk and see if the constipation goes away. The tablets are over the counter and available at the pharmacy without prescription.
Yes whole milk can cause this. My daughter has the same problem. I switched her to soy milk lactose free as her Dr said and she does a whole lot better. Ask the Dr maybe they have some advice. When my girl wants icecream i give her a lacsotive before she eats it.
stay away from apple juice it is constipating,i wouldn't do soy, unless there's an allergy, try a little karo syrup in his milk it is an lod remedy but works ,white or dark will work, hope this helps, also if little one will drink prune juice warm it a little that works too.
I have this same problem...and I am going to try 2% and see if that works but I have tried mixing aloe vera juice and apple...also more fiber and prune juice with apple...she used to eat a prune every day and this helped...
