Constipation
Is your baby putting too much effort when defecating?
Bowel patterns may vary from one child to another just as they do in adults. What is normal for your child may be different from what is normal for another child.
It’s not only a matter of stool frequency, but you also need to pay attention to their aspect. If your baby’s stools are hard, dry, difficult or painful to pass, he/she is likely to suffer from constipation.
