My 19 month old daughter has recently been suffering with constipation on and off for 3 weeks now. She's really struggling to pass a bowel movement and is clearly very distressed about it and now too frightened to do so holding it in, she is in lots of agony. I have now exhausted nearly all options (see below list) so wondering if anyone has any new suggestions or advice on how to handle What we've tried so far: - fluids, lots of of as thinking this could be due to hot weather - fruit; all varieties (excluding bananas and apples) - lots of pears dried fruit, prunes, apricots, plums, figs, etc - whole grains and plenty of veg - prune juice - flax seed oil - mixed in yogurt with dried fruit - massaging her stomach in a clockwise motion - exercise, getting her moving lots but its hard as she is getting very grumpy - aloe vera juice - we bought some glycerin suppositries but she was so distressed about it we decided it would do more harm than good - i have also consulted the doctors twice and tried lactulose and now given her sodium picosulfahte but as a general rule i try to go for more natural methods if i can - finally we are seeing a cranial osteopath at Dulwich therapy rooms tomorrow which i am hoping will get things moving but in case it doesnt... anyone got anything i could add? Thanks

i have been taking my daughter since she was 9 months which in my view is probably the best age to start, not sure how much she would have got out of it before then. sing and sign have lots of classes locally and are pretty good

i'm looking for a childrens entertainer for our daughters 1st birthday party, anyone got any reccomendations? i'm considering speaking to tin pan annies and caterpiller music but wondered if there was anyone else out there i should try - thanks
