Constipation in Children

Childhood constipation can be distressing for both children and parents, especially in toddlers aged 1–4 years.

Causes of constipation in children:

✔ Early or delayed toilet training
✔ Excessive milk intake
✔ Low water consumption
✔ Overuse of diapers

Child specialists recommend starting toilet training at around 1.5 years. If the issue persists despite addressing these causes, consulting a paediatric doctor is essential.
