Call your Pediatrician for a recommendation. And don't give her diarrhea medicine. It will make the constipation worse.

if she has not gone in 3 or so days, give her a large glass of prune juice... add extra sugar for taste, if necessary. stay close to home and expect this to suddenly change things! in the future make sure she is getting enough water and fresh fruits and veggies. she needs the ruffage to stay regular. DO NOT give diarhea medicine. that does the opposite of what you want her to do!

you aren't giving Izzy enough water to drink through out the days or she would not be constipated. Suggest you give Izzy alot of fresh fruit and get her to drink drink drink.

be very careful giving any child medicines. The simple ways to remedy your daughters constipation would be to increase her water and fruit consumption. one of my grandsons has to be reminded to drink water often and when he doesn't, he can't poop either! oranges, apples, carrot sticks, all good to give your baby more fiber to help with pooping. but plenty of good old water is most important.

Rather than a laxative, try some hi fiber food; maybe pumpkin pie filling. That should get her body going.
