A. Pooping once every three days in a 4.7-year-old is not always a concern if the stool is soft, the child is active, eating well, and not experiencing pain or discomfort. Some children naturally have slower bowel movements.
However, if the poop is hard, painful to pass, very large, or if your child shows signs of bloating, loss of appetite, or irritability, it may be a sign of **constipation**. Encourage more water, fiber-rich foods (like fruits, veggies, and whole grains), and regular physical activity.
If this pattern continues or worsens, it’s a good idea to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues.
