Constipation Issues For 1.5 Yr Ds

Have no idea ,I stay in Australia so brands might differ..ur local grocer should have all those

 

If you think, the issue is severe consult a doctor. They may suggest medicines or options for this istuation.
I used to boil raisins and take the extract and give that every morning ( one or two spoons) to my son when he had severe issue around 6-8 months.
Even if there is no issue , this juice helps BM. I also heard that prune juice helps, It will be available in grocery stores or google. But I never tried that. Try to give him more fiber rich food, fruits, water/juice etc.. It may help. Try to find any specific food is initiating this problem.

My kid faced severe constipation when we started giving solid foods. That time doctor suggested to use Vaseline on baby thermometer tip and insert it on anus and massage slowly (round & round) after making him lie down (face up) and pushing both legs forward to tummy (of course covering with with diaper ). I was hesitant to do it. But I tried when I noticed the tough situation my baby faced. This helped to induce BM and smooths the region. I used to do it if its delayed for one day. That was a big relief for my baby who used to cry for it. I dont know if this method is useful for 1.5 y kid. Just mentioned, may be it is of some use..
I feel that you should not change his eating habits (solid foods not liquids) much and try to find what cause it (even banana cause constipation in some kids. You moved to US , the food may not be the same as that in India) and then try more options.
