Constipation

 

If your child poos in his pants without meaning to, or it hurts him to have a bowel movement, or he has tummy pains that may come and go, it’s a good idea to ask your doctor if it might be constipation.

Constipation can be a result of holding onto poos, not drinking enough, not eating enough fibre or as a result of an illness where your child eats and drinks less.

More on constipation coming soon. Meanwhile you can learn more using the below links.
