Toddler constipation is the condition when your child had not passed a bowel for four days or more. This condition is very common and there are many reasons why a toddler becomes constipated. Passing a hard stool is painful and because of the pain your toddler may be holding on the urge to defecate because of fear to feel the pain. Holding the urge aggravates the problem because any delay to pass the stool makes it even painful because the stool can become harder.
Treating toddler constipation is basically just counter the cause. For instance, when the cause is lack of fluids, you will just increase the water intake of your child daily. When the cause is ingestion of unhealthy foods like junk foods and more carbohydrates, you will just have to adjust the carb content in the toddler's food as well as exclude junk foods from his/her daily diet. Knowing the reasons why toddlers get constipated is really a big help for parents to know what to do in order to promote comfortable defecation.
Counter Stools
Aside from constipation causes counter measures, it is also very important for you to promote toilet training habits. You should guide your toddler to try and do "number two" everyday and explain the reasons as to why this is so important. Also, try and fill your child in to the results of what happens when this daily habit is not consistently done. Always make it a point to make toilet time an enjoyable and comfortable time for the child. The use of laxatives may help the child to defecate regularly. There are two main ways in which laxatives for toddler constipation work:
* Laxatives that are stimulants or emptier help the bowel to push the stool out.
* Laxatives that are softeners helps in softening the hard stool.
Laxatives are necessary for toddlers. Toddlers sometimes need laxatives for months rather than weeks. Keep in mind that laxatives are to allow the bowel to develop a normal habit. Toddler constipation and other bowel movement problems that appear in the early life can be diagnosed within the first few months. Overall, it always pays to know the manifestations for early detection and treatment of toddler constipation before it becomes more serious and too late to act.
