To remedy constipation, I have used a bulb syringe. I can feel how full the bowel is getting while squeezing the bulb. The more quantity that can be delivered slowly the better the results.

@Kathy4161 oh Kathy I used the bulb syringe too for my girls until 8.
But I used more than one filling for mine from 5 yo on

@Birgit12
What size bulb did you use. I used a 4oz until age 9 then a 8oz was used.
