Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I think your kid is having habitual constipation. I have certain suggestions for you. Suggestions: 1. Natural methods are the best to relieve constipation. 2. Constipation is a risk factor for UTI 3. Maximum milk consumption per day should not exceed 300-400ml 4. Minimum 3-4 cups of fruits and vegetables to be consumed per day 5. Toilet training - that is - sitting in Indian type of lavatory daily at the same time will help a lot. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome.
