Also,my 9 year old has constipation problems when he was 2.We gave him loads of fruit,plus fresh orange juice for his afternoon drink,and plenty of fluids,not just milk.I don't know we did right so I'd check with a chemist,but we used something called Califig.They used to make a children's version but now it's just the one.It's a laxative which we used once a day to get him over the worst of it,then weaned him off over a period of months.Because it hurts to go to the toilet they hold it and won't go.This makes it worse and it can be a real issue.The laxative makes it more comfortable and they relax and it just becomes normal.Don't use a laxative without checking with a doctor or chemist though.We used a children's one but I only did it under the advice of my mum cos she's a trained children's nurse.We did have to have lots of embarrassing conversations about poo and if you did eat your fruit,drink your juice,eat brown bread,etc it makes them work better.We also set aside plenty of time to go to the toilet at a time which worked for him(he'd hold it till he could no longer and we'd have disaster in the bath so we knew when) and stay with him,to make sure he could go and see that he noticed it didn't hurt any more .Took a little while to fix.Lovely conversation in our house for a while.If in doubt see your GP.They can get complications and he can check evberythings working properly and there's no underlying cause
