My recommendations - serve the "P" fruits - peaches - plums - prunes - pears - these fruits help soften stools (avoid bananas - they constipate) - miralax (over-the-counter) helps keep stools soft - start with 1 Tbsp. mixed with water or diluted juice - daily. If stools are too soft, decrease the dose to 2 tsp (3 tsp = 1 Tbsp) - titrate the amount of daily miralax to the stool consistency. The fruit nectar "juices" that can be found at the store help with constipation. Lots of water intake and exercise help.

Is there any way I can help my obese child?
this isn't an easy question to answer but there are many thinks you can try - First, get all the junk food/sweets out of the house. It is very hard to resist eating these foods READ MORE
this isn't an easy question to answer but there are many thinks you can try - First, get all the junk food/sweets out of the house. It is very hard to resist eating these foods when they are sitting there staring at you! Lots of fresh veggies and some fruits are best for snacking. An occasional treat is fine - you can't totally cut her off but they should be a treat and not a "usual". Watch portion sizes. Eat regular meals so she isn't hungry all the time. And amp up the exercise! Get outdoors and ride bikes - jog or run daily - join the gym. Do these things together. They aren't a punishment but a fun activity. It will be a slow road but keep up the encouragement. Good luck

The worry depends partly on the degree of the temperature - getting 102 or more, should get her checked - as well as does the fever goes down with Tylenol and when it does go down, how is the baby acting.
