he poops once in 5 to 6 days but the strange thing is that the poop is soft and no blood particles are found with it.

we gave him polyethylene glycol syrup and also lexopeg powder with water.

he cries while pooping.

he is fond of sugary food and eats very less fruits or no fruits at all.

please help!

we want to change his habiit and also suggest some pointers for pooping . he is 2 years and 6 months old now.

Accepted Answer

Have your child regularly drink warm water between meals. It makes his digestive tract strong. encouraging proper eating habits and food combining when possible, sufficient water intake, high quality oils, and providing plenty of high fiber foods can be helpful in the prevention of constipation.
