A. If your 16-month-old son is having trouble while pooping, it could be due to constipation, hard stools, or digestive issues. Here are some possible causes and solutions: Possible Causes: Low Fiber Diet – Not eating enough fruits, vegetables, or whole grains. Less Water Intake – Dehydration can make stools hard and difficult to pass. Cow’s Milk Sensitivity – Too much dairy (milk, cheese) can lead to constipation. Holding Poop – Some toddlers resist pooping due to fear of pain from previous hard stools. Lack of Physical Activity – Less movement can slow digestion. What You Can Do: ✔ Increase Fiber – Add fruits like papaya, pears, prunes, apples, and vegetables like spinach to his diet. ✔ Give More Fluids – Offer more water throughout the day. ✔ Try Natural Remedies – A few spoons of warm water with soaked raisins or prune juice can help soften stools. ✔ Encourage Movement – Let him play and move around to improve digestion. ✔ Massage & Bicycle Legs – A gentle tummy massage and moving his legs in a cycling motion can help. ✔ Limit Dairy – Reduce cow’s milk intake if he drinks too much. ✔ Use a Squatting Position – Let him sit in a natural squatting position (or with knees higher than hips using a stool) to help pass stool easily. If his poop is very hard, has blood, or he cries a lot while pooping, consult a pediatrician. Let me know if he has any other symptoms!
