Why Do Toddlers Get Constipated?
Being constipated is no fun for either your child or you; seeing your child in this discomforting position is challenging. Some prevalent causes of constipation include changes in diet, not drinking enough water, not moving enough, or taking some medications. This can be extremely painful, cause extreme fear, cause great unhappiness, be embarrassing and discomforting, and create bad memories for your small child.
Although constipation can be perfectly normal, it is still very uncomfortable and usually only lasts a few days. But if your child’s constipation lasts for more than a week, you should immediately call and see your doctor and pediatrician. During this period, please remember to be patient, loving and gentle with your child; they will need and want more cuddle time and comfort from you.
