when my little fairy was 2 years old...she was constantly constipated for about 6 months...GP refused to give her anything as she is too yound for laxatives etc. and just advised us on diet. little fairy has a very balanced diet so that didnt really help much....it was really heart breaking watching her in tears to poo. after a bit of research only i discovered the solution DRIED PRUNES, PRUNE JUICE - availavle in Holland-Barratts. so she had a few prunes daily and drank a glass of prune juice daily... i was lucky that she actually liked it as i wouldnt!!! Hope this helps Problem solved for us
