Asking For Self, Male 1, Karachi
I have a 15 months son. He picks all the things from ground and take them into the mouth. He doesn't sleep sound during night, feeds many times in night. He takes motherfeed. My son also suffering from constipation since 4 months. I give him Duphalac syrup. without syrup he can't pass stool..his weight is 9.5 kg. kindly suggest proper diet plan, so that he may sleep and excrete well.
Looks that your child needs review in feeding practices
Please give him diets other than milk that is all soft diets you can give and it will resolve his problems
1. 15 months old should eat proper diet. If not, there will be constipation. Avoid giving milk after 8am. Instead, give soft diets. You can give boiled/ fried egg. Make khichri with a bit of salt and pepper in it and add along a mashed potato and give for lunch, in between meals, add fruit like banana or sliced apples. You can give home made fresh juice as well. Also you can give sooji ka halwa, whole wheat porridge, yogurt, meat of any kind once a day as well. Ideally, whatever you eat for meals, start introducing that. Once u introduce proper diet, constipation will settle. 2. As for eating things off the ground, what specifically does he eat? Mud? Paint? Give him Syrup zentil 5ml once a day for one day only.

thanks for answering. He eats boiled egg and yogurt in breakfast, then in between, watermelon or any other fruit. In lunch he eats wheat porridge or sagoodana kheer or rice. he eats chapati too. In dinner chapatti and sometimes cerelac. while during night he takes motherfeed.
he takes mud,stones,toys,shoes even everything he finds on the ground . He drinks water sufficiently. But physically he is smart, not like fatty kids.
