HI. A change of a few days in his age should not be a great concern I think. It was good that you've tried with natural laxatives and continue like this(kiwies, prunes, more fiber) and more liquids. I don't know if you have used it but I'd recommend Lactulose syrup and activated carbon wich has a laxative effect to.
We can talk again about your's son situation.
