Hi -
not sure if this is the right place for this question...please move if necessary.
Our toddler (just under two) had a difficult bought of constipation a while back (3 - 5 months ago?) and has been afraid to poop since. At this point she poops very regularly (every day to 3 days, but lately almost every day) which is very frequent for her, but there is always a big fuss and sometimes tears and upsets. The problem started when she started eating more solids.
She still nurses through the night and during the day, most days, whenever she wants, so she's still getting a bit of breastmilk, but now I'm pregnant and the supply is much lower.
We are trying to get as much fiber into her as possible, but she is really favoring foods that aren't fiber-rich and we find ourselves struggling through feeding her food she'll eat v. putting food in front of her that she won't eat.
Just looking for ideas on sneaking some fiber in.
Other things we're doing:
probiotics in her yogurt, fruit smoothies, fresh fruits. She's not a fan of vegetables and that already feels like all our fault, so any helpful hints would be great.
thank you!
