urinary pattern in small children is totally different. they may pass more than 20 times pegr day urine also and sometimes they will pass urine again and again in only one hour. 
the minimum requirement would be more than 7 times in 24 hocurs. if it is less give more breast feeding or milk and if it is more no need to worry if the child is not having any other complaint.

good afternoon it is very common for small children to be having constipation I would recommend you to try to put coconut oil in the rectum of the child to make sure that the baby is able to pass motion
