General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Some changes in the food of the child may help:
* Avoiding foods like rice cereals (absorb water from gut, making stool harder), cow's milk before one year, banana and a low fiber diet
* Add fruits and vegetables high in fiber contents like peas, beans, broccoli, banana, peaches, apricot, figs, pears, prunes and dates
* Proper hydration of child by giving non-dietary liquids like fruit juices to avoid hardening of stools
* Some patients may have minor local ulcers which make the passage of stools harder. It should be treated by local application of Zinc containing emollients.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
