Hello,

At such a young age, anything to help pass motion is not advisable. No, Neopeptine doesn't help passing motion. If she is a poor eater, then you have to figure out ways to create her interest and see to it that she gets enough fiber and fluid. Give her a glass of warm water in the morning and make her run around so as to get the defecation reflex. Take advice or short-term medicine if she has hard stools and try to regularize her habits. It will be helpful in the long term.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
