Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. Stool pattern of small children changes from time to time.
It can be more than 7 times per day also and sometimes the chilgd will not pass stool for 10 days also.
The most important thing is the consistency of the stool and if it is Semi solid to solid or semi liquid then there is no need to worry about the frequency as well as colour as well as the smell of the stool
Also straining and crying while passing urine and stool is very normal
meeta agarwalMom of 2 children3 years agoA. Hello, Some doctors recommend using corn syrup like Karo, usually around 1 to 2 teaspoons per day, to soften the stools. Once your infant is taking solids you can try vegetables and fruits, especially that old standby, prunes. If these dietary changes don't help, it's time to call your child's pediatrician.
