My 10 month old is so constipated!! :(

[*Danni*]

I am really hoping some of you Mummies out there can help me... My poor darling has been battling with really bad constipation over the last month or so and it is so traumatic and stressful for all of us seeing him screaming and crying as he does a really hard poo. DH even usually has to push his legs against his tummy to help him get it out - I think it's gotten to the point that he's refusing to go anymore he is breastfed by the way.

We have tried changing his diet, adding more liquids (he refuses water 99% of the time which is soo hard), giving prune/pear juice, massages, baths, leg cycling... You name it!

I'm just hoping to hear from anyone who may have been through this before what has helped you. I really don't want to medicate him (I don't want him to get dependent). And it got to the point at one stage that we had to use suppositories, but he since has gone by himself, but with difficulty. I don't want to keep doing that (and have stopped).

Thanks in advance for your help!
