POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy5 months agoA. It's common for toddlers around 2.5 years to hold back their stool, even if it's soft. This may happen due to fear, distraction, or discomfort. Here are a few steps to encourage daily bowel movements:
What You Can Do: Establish a routine – Sit her on the potty at the same time every day, ideally after meals when the bowel is most active. Make potty time relaxed and fun – Read a book, sing songs, or use a reward chart to create a positive association. Hydration and diet – Give plenty of water and fiber-rich foods like fruits (papaya, prunes, apple with skin), vegetables, whole grains, and oats. Use a footstool – While on the potty, a stool under her feet can help her push more easily by supporting the right posture. Watch for withholding signs – If she’s crossing legs, hiding, or getting irritable, gently encourage her to sit on the potty. Avoid pressure – Forcing or scolding can worsen the hesitation. Be calm and encouraging.
If she continues to skip days or starts to strain, consult a pediatrician for a gentle stool softener or further guidance. Let me know if you want a sample potty schedule too.
