Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. it is very common that sometimes children may not pass stool for 10 days also
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 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
Jasmine KaurTrying To Conceive3 years agoA. Hello dear parent, babies upto 6 months of age can hold their poop for 7 days but beyond that period you must consult with your paediatric. To prevent this situation you must burp your baby after every feed by holding him in upright position and massage his back for 20 mins and 4 burps are necessary. This helps in releasing gas and prevents colic pain.. Good luck and take care
