A chronically constipated child is in (almost) permanent discomfort. Their belly is bloated, they are in pain, and they pass gas often, especially after a few days without a bowel movement. There are many methods that help kids poop every day. The key is to find the one (or ones) that work best for your child. Today I would like [...]
Poop conversations happen daily at our house. Not because anyone is constipated, but because I like to keep track of every member of my family’s pooping habits. I know, quite glamorous.
