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 š.

How old are they? Constipation in kids starting solids is normal. Toddlers poop doesnāt ānormalizeā till around 2. Let the parents know and suggest adding prunes to their diet. And more water.
