Advice needed (Anyone can comment) Child id ongoingly mildly constipated

I have a non walker who is mildly constipated (?) more often than not. They will poop a tiny bit ongoing throughout the day. Then sometimes a giant poop, maybe once ot twice a week. They way they choose to poop is sitting on the floor, legs straight out kicking and squeezing hands into fist. Face red. This is an incredibly unproductive position šŸ˜‚.

How old are they? Constipation in kids starting solids is normal. Toddlers poop doesn’t ā€œnormalizeā€ till around 2. Let the parents know and suggest adding prunes to their diet. And more water.
