My dd is 20 months old and has been suffering terribly with constipation. She would scream and cry when trying to poo which was obviously very upsetting! We tried to help by increasing her fibre and liquid intake but to no avail! We took dd to the doctors and she has been prescribed Movicol which has had the desired effect and made her poo very soft. However the problem now is that she is even more scared of pooing and the mere mention of the word upsets her. When she poos, it's everywhere!!! She tries to cover herself up and cries, screams and squirms all over the place making changing her nappy an horrendous task!!
Does anyone have any similar experiences or advice please?
