Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
children who are solely on milk feeds do have constipation.
You should feed her with high residue and fiber containing foods like whole wheat bread and leafy vegetables and juicy fruits.
Plenty of water to drink.
As far as practicable stool softeners and cathartics should not be used.
In case of emergency milk of magnesia and dulcolax suppository may be tried.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
