POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy11 months agoA. For a 1 year and 10-month-old, having a bowel movement every 2 days can still be within the normal range. However, if he’s crying during bowel movements, it could indicate discomfort, possibly due to constipation or hard stools. Toddlers often have difficulty passing stools if they’re not drinking enough water or not eating enough fiber-rich foods.
Here are some steps to help:
Increase Fiber: Offer more fruits (like apples and pears), vegetables, and whole grains, as they can aid digestion.
Hydration: Ensure he drinks enough water throughout the day.
Physical Activity: Encourage him to be active, as movement helps with bowel movements.
Stool Softener (if advised): If discomfort continues, consult a pediatrician. They may recommend a mild stool softener suitable for toddlers.
If the issue persists or he continues to show signs of pain, it would be good to check with your pediatrician for further guidance.
