Child Nutrition
Constipation is a frustrating problem for many parents. One problem is that it is often mistaken for a potty training problem in younger kids and for older children, you usually don't know how often they are having bowel movements.

For the average child, constipation is usually caused by a combination of a high fat and low fiber diet. This might include drinking too much whole milk, eating a lot of other dairy products, and not eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. Some quick and easy changes to your child's diet that may make it less constipating can include:

changing to low fat milk or soy milk (as long as your child is at least two years old), both of which can be less constipating than whole milk
limiting your child's intake of milk to about 16 ounces a day
avoiding other foods that are traditionally thought to be constipating, including:
bananas
most dairy products, such as cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and as already mentioned, milk.

If limiting dairy products because of constipation, be sure to find an alternative source of calcium, such as calcium fortified orange juice.
cooked carrots most high fat foods, such as french fries, and processed foods
white rice increasing the amount of fiber and bran in your child's diet by feeding him more high fiber foods increasing your child's intake of fluid each day, especially water and apple, pear, and/or prune juice
