  2. orange/prune juice
  3. cycling legs (get little uns to lie down and bend their legs and knees to the chest. We do it to row row row your boat)
  4. a warm bath
  5. apple juice
  6. warm water with some brown sugar in it
  7. rub/massage their tummies
  8. linseeds (for toddlers). Add them to anything they eat from cereal to soups and casserole and even pasta. You can buy them ground as well as whole from all supermarkets and health shops
  9. Prunes blended with two pieces of tinned peaches into a puree
  10. Movicol or Lactulose (also called Duphalac)
  11. Anything with skin on will help, e.g. beans, apricots, potatoes
  12. Prunes mashed in porridge
  13. Linseed or oatbran disguised in weetabix or porridge is good

PLEASE add to this list!
