Ask your child&#8217;s pediatrician what&#8217;s best for your kid.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get your kid on a stooling regimen:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Children are great at holding both their pee and poop, mostly because they don&#8217;t want to take the time out of playing to go to the bathroom. Sounds familiar, right? Try establishing a specific time each day when your child has to sit on the toilet to try to pass stool. The best time for this is about 20-30 minutes after a meal when the colon naturally contracts to pass a stool. It doesn&#8217;t seem realistic to get a child on the potty before rushing off to school every morning. And we all know that they won&#8217;t do it at school. So, the ideal time is generally after dinner.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Remind your kid that holding their poop causes pain, and it&#8217;s better to let it out rather than keeping it in.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the first steps in preventing constipation from affecting your child is to increase the amount of fibre in their diet.
