  • Linz,

    Lactolose can be used on children as young as 1 to help with constipation.

  • Also eating pears and drinking lots of pure orange juice, and water of course.
  • Kiwi's are a good source of fibre too, if she'll eat them.
  • You can gat Califig off the shelf in Boots.We had to use it for a while when my son was 2,then when my daughter was 7 for a bit.It's safe from 1.It has what dose at what age on the back.If she's in pain give her calpol.Go see a GP if it goes on.We left it too long with my daughter and ended up having to use suppositary laxatives.You don't even want to go there.Hope she's better soon.
  • hi ladies, new chemist was far more helpful. She bounced in to the living room about 5 minutes ago screaming she had had a poo. When I checked the thing was tiny but at least it is moving slowly but surely hahahaha
