A. Thank you, it has been 7 days now? Is it okay if I wait till 10 days

A. A child can go without pooping for 10 to 12 days also there is no need to put a suppository if your child is okay with it not having any discomfort if your child is crying or something then you can use it there is no problem in using them they are safe to be used
