Answer 1

Call her doctor and see what they suggest.  Ours recommended 2 tsp of mineral oil mixed in a drink daily.  Either that or use a suppository.  After you get it cleared up just make sure she gets plenty of water daily.  Mine had this problem with the type of formula he was drinking.

Answer 2

get her to drink a lot of fluids

Answer 3

Increase Fibre In Diet

Answer 4

either get laxatives or go to doctor

Answer 5

Try some apple juice, diluted with 1/2 water, or prunes.  Also, BabyLax, is a good product.  You could also try stimulating with a thermometer.  A nice warm bath might relax her enough to go.  She also might  go during a nap.

Answer 6

If you can see it...pull it out.  I know it sounds gross.  Just use a baby wipe or tp.  I had to do this with mine too.  That's whan parents are for.

Answer 7

Since you've obviously given her a rectal exam, try putting a baby-size glycerine suppository in her.  Or cut off a sliver of soap, lube up her butt and push it in - guarantee it'll make her do a dooey in a few minutes.

Answer 8

You can pull it out or use a baby suppository, which are very effective.  After that perhaps add some soluble fiber like Benefiber to her food.

Answer 9

My daughter had this problem. Her pediatrician put her on Murilax and we increased her fluids and fiber in her diet. It took a few days, but then she started going regularly again.
