See below: Seeing your doc is good. More info is needed here to help out. The consistency of the stool determines if the child is constipated and needs more help clearing the stool and softening it up. Stools that are rocky, clay-like, rabbit pellets, etc. Are evidence of constipation. Again, talk to your doc.
