Interesting that the specialist is blaming breastmilk for the 
constipation, since many  mothers I know report the opposite experience. 
Breastmilk is laxative at any age! Your post doesn't mention if this 
particular child is 1. chronically constipated, for instance since the 
introduction of solids, 2. weaning, and therefore getting less breastmilk 
and perhaps a higher proporttion of cow's milk instead 3. has other 
allergy symptoms 4. just learning to toilet and holding on to bm's--so 
this would be more behavioral.  Can you provide any more details?
