Hi Doctor, My child is 18 months old. He has been taking lactogen from his 6 months age stage by stage. Sometimes he is suffering from problem like constipation. Is that due to lactogen as he takes ample of water and fiber added food through his daily routine? Now he is taking lactogen stage 6. Can we provide him packet milk like mother dairy,metro dairy,etc. During constipation we give him evact medicine a lactulose solution 5ml. twice daily. Plese help......
Hi... I think at this age, the child should be eating from the family pot. The home based food is the best for the child at this age. Try to give your child all the home cooked foodstuffs along with plenty of fluids. It will take care of constipation part also, and you may not need to administer lactulose that frequently.
