Constipation Remedies and Fiber Rich foods for Toddlers

As I said in my previous post, I started doing some research about fiber rich foods.
Here is what the kids need in terms of fiber to keep the constipation at bay.
  • Toddlers (1-3 years old) should get 19 grams of fiber each day.
  • Kids 4-8 years old should get 25 grams a day.
Some of the below foods I started giving Megha are. 
  1. One medium pear with skin: Contains 5.5 grams of fiber
  2. Small apple with skin: 3.6 grams
  3. medium banana: 3.1 grams
  4. One TBSP Chia and Flax seed powder: 4 grams
  5. 1/2 cup cooked green peas: 4.4 grams
  6. 1.2 cups of Spinach: 8 grams
  7. 1/2 cup cooked carrots: 2.5
  8. 1 cup Broccoli: 5.1 grams
  9. 1/4 Oats: 4 grams
  10. 1/2 cup moong dal (whole green gram): 3.3 grams
  11. 1/2 Toor dal: 1.25 grams
  12. 1 slice Whole grain Bread: 2.8 grams
  13. Wheat Bran 2 tbsp: 4.5 grams (add to yogurt/milk)
