A. yes that's true it is totally normal for small children less than 6 months of age not to pass stool for 10 days also. it is also normal if they are passing stool more than 6 or 7 times per day. if the consistency of the stool is Semi solid to solid there is no need to worry about the frequency as well as the colour (the colour can range from yellow brown green to black) of the stool. also straining while passing urine and stool is normal. Do burping for 15 to 20 minutes

A. Yes your doctor is hundred percent right even I would have suggested you the same even if you wouldn’t have mentioned what a doctor has suggested but he has in any case when you see the child is extremely irritated or trouble because of not pooping then insert an enema in the Anus of your child that will clear the system within 5 to 6 hours
