Although my daughter is 3years now but I remember my biggest nightmare when she was just a baby was constipation. She used to get so agitated and would cry non-stop for hours together. It was then my mother with her experiences shared a few home remedies for baby constipation that helped me so much. Why not I share them with all you young mothers?

The most important thing that my mother told me was to try and eat all healthy food items so that the child can also easily digest it when the nutrients are transferred to him/her through feed.

Effective Home Remedies To Treat Constipation

The first and best home remedies for baby on my list would be to give the child proper exercise. If the baby is crawling or walking, encourage him to take extra laps. In-case for babies who are still very small try giving him exercise by moving his/her legs in circular motions. It helps the baby pass regular motion. This can be followed by a little massage in the colic area. It helps in soothing the tummy muscles of the baby and most often shows positive effects.

Apple Juice
Apple juice also makes wonders when it comes to child constipation. Try giving an infant a little of healthy apple juice.

Sultana Currant
One of most favourite home remedies for baby constipation is Sultana currant (Munakka) with warm milk does the trick.

Terminalia Chebula
My personal favorite and the easiest natural home remedies for baby constipation is rub a little Terminalia chebula (Harar) on the rolling base, take it on your finger and make your lick it a little. For my daughter this seemed to always work.

Evergreen Mixtures
Home remedies for child constipation would go empty without the evergreen mixture of black salt, borage (Suhaga), harar and Asafoetida (hing). Warm Borage and add a pinch of Asafoetida and half a teaspoon of Harar and black salt. Give it to the child with warm water.

Prune Juice
Another magical home remedy for baby constipation is prune juice or puréed prune with a little honey.

Castor Oil
Giving the child to lick castor oil with honey in 6 gm of measures each is ram-baan remedy for constipation among children.

Apricots
Apricots also make a wonder when it comes to home remedies for baby constipation.

Moong Dal
The magical moong dal cooked along with spinach and rice makes a healthy and whole some meal for the infants, which is an excellent remedy for child constipation.

Broccoli
Broccoli is also a wonder vegetable for constipation as it provides needed fibre to the stomach thus easing constipation.

Cabbage
Feeding cabbage and onion cooked with rice also helps ease the problem of constipation. Some of the new mommy's find it an excellent alternative to all the laxatives.

Rose Water
Warm water also does the trick. Try a little gripe water and rose water along with it to help your child have a normal bowel movement.

Orange
Orange juice is also very good remedy for baby constipation due to its high fibre content.

Zucchini
I read somewhere that Zucchini when boiled and crushed with the peal also helps in child constipation.
