Natural alternative for child constipation?!


Question:

Natural alternative for child constipation?

I'm not sure if I would call it constipation, but they are not as frequent and tend to be hard.
Anyone who has tried a natural alternative to help regulate their child and was successful?
So far I've tried probiotic acidophilus, fish oil, flax seed oil.
Thanks in advance!

Answers:

Alot of people on here are right the best and quickest way is prune juice and/or pear juice.
My little one gets this evry once in a while, and it cleans her out within 24 hours. Keeping prunes part of their diet can help prevent it from coming on as much. Some kids will not eat prunes. In this case pears are the next best thing.
Try mixing the prune juice with their favorite juice, if they dont like it straight. Mine loves it straight, and one of her favorite foods is prunes go figure. lol
Prune juice is what your doctor would reccomend as well.
If the constipation is bad try to give only liquids for 24 hours.
Coconut milk is great too, but they only sell it in cans here and thats not good.
Good luck
