Currently dealing with this. I’m no expert but I’ve noticed it’s harder for her if she doesn’t eat as much that day. (Teething trenches right now) extra water throughout the day has helped and a little bit of apple juice mixed with like 75% water has helped too. Warm bath, and tummy massage.

Prune juice cut with water and I second the apple juice statement

Toddler formula is not a thing.It is called “toddler nutritional drink”because it is not regulated like formula and is unnecessary.

Going through the same with a baby that will not drink juice or anything in his water. He does have dairy in almost every meal so we are going to cut back on dairy and concentrate on fiber. I made fruit pancakes and make sure he knows he has water nearby anytime. His snacks are higher fiber too. It may be a phase with a diet change. He is doing rabbit poops but 3x a day. Prebiotic/probiotic combo has always been helpful for us. We have done Mary Ruth but they once gave us an expired one so I switched to Mommy’s Bliss quickly. Looking into Healthy Genetics now because of the prebiotics and great reviews. Also GasX is great if the seem to be having gas pain from constipation. I was told to bring him in if it’s been over 7 days by his doctor. I would definitely ask the doctor if you have concerns as well.

I give beet juice, and pear (ripe pear works great with constipation, I do steam it but the pear has to be ripe not just green) and used probiotics in the past that were very effective BioGaia brand, my pediatrician recommended and it fid work great for my baby. Also easy to give, in the drops form, 5 drops on the spoon or directly in the mouth. Using probiotics you can’t mix them into hot food cause they might loose their effect
