Constipation for Toodlers

Due to the stomach flu tigerbaby caught last week, she has develop constipation. Due to I have always been careful with her diet and past motion tracking, if had a feeling something was not right after 2 days she didn't poo as she never pass 2 days of her record 

Day 1 (fri)  - No Poo. Ok , probraly due to stomach flu and I have given her medicine to stop vomitting so thinking that could be the cause. no action was taken 

Day 2 - No Poo. But she had solid meals. 2 piece of bread, a lot of fruits and vegetables with Rice too. End of the day, I was thinking probraly it is lack of exercise and lack of water in take. 

Day 3 - still No Poo. Now that is something real wrong as she had 1/2 bowl of chicken rice on day 1, one whole fruit of dragon fruit and 2 small bananas and on day 2 she had bread, fruits and heaps of bananas and 2-3 cups of liquid. She went for a swim, a one hour shopping trip , Why isn't she poo-ing? 

Obviously mother instict starts to kick in. Ask a few friends and was told to do the below so this is just a simple record of what needs to be done if your child has "constipation" or haven't poo more than 2 days. 

- Make barley drink for the kid
- Provide more exercises, for walking, running or swimmig 
- Massage in clock wise direction 
- Apply Ru Yu Oil or Peppermint Essential Oil  

If after 1 day the above didn't help, you can 
- Go phamacy to get this Gelatin Suppositories (it is again something to stuck in the butt and after waiting for a while or about 15 mins the kid would poo) 


To be honest, i don't know whether was it the suppository that did the magic. However as waiting for blurdad to buy it back. for One hour, every 15 mins I brought tigerbaby to the toilet and let her sit for 5 mins, took her down, massage her tummy. Once medicine was back, I stuck one bullet in, wore her pants and wash my hand , she told me she wants to go toilet. And pop, the bullet came out and she started to poo

with a combination of liquid, massage, oils and a bullet in her arse, finally my tigerbaby pooped!!

Notes: Doesn't mean providing heaps of fiber would help if it is lack of Water liquid, it actually might cause constipation to as other mothers shared. So take note, end of the day, Water is very important and Barley does helps a lot. Reason? One glass of barley given today and she poo a lot (as of today Day 4)
