Toddler’s Poop

Good evening moms and dads! :) i have a question my daughter who is 3years old and 1month is constipated and she only poop every 3 days. Here are the things we’ve tried: 1) My daughter is drinking prune juice 2) Duphalac (laxative) - as given by the Pediatrician 3) Gave her fruits and food that are high on fibre 3) Tried switching milk (from Similac to NAN to Hipp and now back to Similac) My daughter is drinking water but honestly not so much, her Pediatrician doesn’t now what to do. Please advise thank you :) My daughter has been like this around 2 years old and

When your daughter poops, are the stool hard or does she strain hard to poo? If not, pooping every 3 days is fine.. if your daughter is eating a lot of fruits but not taking in much water it will just add to the problem. Because too much fibre can also cause constipation. You may want to give her probiotics like yogurt, etc instead.

Thank u for the response. Her poop is sometime no so soft, hard, sometimes like pebbles which means she is really constipated. She eats yogurt and takes yakult as well.
