A. It is very normal for small children that sometimes they will not pass stool for 10 days also and sometimes they will pass stool more than 7 to 8 times per day. If the consistency of the stool is Semi solid to semi liquid do not worry about the frequency of the stool. No medicines needs to be given in such a case but you have to meet the doctor only if the stool consistency is hard. It is advisable to give only milk to the child and nothing else before comxpletion of 6 months of age. intermittent crying of the child is due to colic pain and not due to constipation.

A. It’s really normal it can put once and 7 to 10 days also also and that is very normal for them but if they’re taking all the feeds properly and the output is good is considered very fine but the motion is really tight then you can ask your doctor to advise you with some stool softener for your child for the time
