Watch as Parents Magazine shows when to worry about constipation! Have your baby’s pooping frequencies come to a near halt? It may not necessarily mean constipation. This condition has mo

re to do with the consistency or the stool than the frequency. It is common for babies to go several days without a bowel movement, but some indicators may help you determine if a blocked system is to blame. Constipation causes firm, compact stool, much like pebbles. There may be a bit of blood in your baby’s diaper–hard poop can tear the rectal wall. Switching from formula to solid foods can also cause infant constipation. If her belly is bloated, possibly even tender, it may be a sign of backed-up intestines. Your doctor can provide possible ways to alleviate the problem of constipation in children!
