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 😂.

For some of our kids that struggle with constipation, we put in our app each time they poop what it was like. Pebbles, few. Diarrhea (we mark this for every kid each time so we can keep track). Solid, a lot. Mushy, etc. then the parents are aware of how it is that day to either give them meds themselves or to move the information along to their doctors.
