Toddler’s Poop

Please advise thank you :) My daughter has been like this around 2 years old and

Mine too previously was like that, cried when poop was too hard and couldn’t come out. Realised child actually didn’t eat enough veg so is veg soup with more veg every dinner (child has lunch in childcare) and educating her to drink a lot of water, eat veg, eat bananas (every other day) so that she can poop easily. Initially, also tried probiotics and drank water with Chia seeds which helped. Also used a calendar to mark the days she pooped so that I keep track of the number of days she hasn’t pooped so that I could remind childcare teachers to let her eat the bananas which I had brought to childcare and to drink more water.
