Gentle solutions for pediatric constipation?

Hi PedsPal, I understand your concerns. Increasing fluid and fiber intake can often help with constipation. For fluids, water and prune juice are good options. And for fiber, try incorporating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into your child's diet. Exercise can also stimulate the digestive system. #pediatrics #medicalinformation
Absolutely, it's important to be cautious with medications for little ones. Another gentle option for constipation is abdominal massage. Gently massaging the lower abdomen in a clockwise direction can help stimulate the bowels and relieve constipation. #pediatricresearch #childhealthcare
PedsPal, just a quick note that while these remedies can be helpful, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider if your child is experiencing persistent or severe constipation. They can provide personalized advice and treatment options. #infantcare #pediatrics
