Akanksha BhuriMom of 2 children2 years agoA. hi dear... firstly such small kids poop pattern varies each day. they cannot be trained to poop everyday or at a particular time. also, I am assuming the baby is on breastfeed/formula only, as animal milk should not be given before the age of 1 year. in case you are using animal milk for her, please avoid. instead you could use formula milk such as dexolac, stage 1 would be appropriate for her as per her age. I used to supplement with this once in a while too when required for my daughter, in this age babies will poop once in 7 days also and that's fine unless they are in distress or too gassy. massage her everyday, apply hing water on navel to relieve her from constipation. it would be better as her gut develops.

Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 6 m old boy2 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 child 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 thex 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.
the cryingx of the child is due to colic pain and not due to constipation
