One alternative to help with constipation is to give your child Lax-A-Day™, a powder that can be added to water without changing its taste or texture. This product is usually effective in resolving constipation in less than two days. Additionally, it may be helpful to monitor and potentially reduce the amount of cow's milk your child is consuming, as excessive intake of cow's milk is a common cause of constipation in children. It is recommended to limit cow's milk intake to a maximum of 600 mL per day and supplement with a variety of other foods to help alleviate constipation symptoms.
