POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month4 months agoA. It’s common for toddlers to develop a fear of pooping, especially after a painful experience with hard stools. Your daughter may be holding her poop due to fear of pain, which leads to constipation, making the problem worse even with laxatives. To help her, focus on softening her stools naturally by increasing her water intake and giving fiber-rich foods like fruits (prunes, papaya, pear), vegetables, and whole grains. Establish a calm, regular potty routine and offer reassurance without pressure. Encourage her with praise and comfort, not force. If the issue continues despite these efforts, consult a pediatrician or child gastroenterologist for further guidance and stool-softening options.
