Constipation: Constipation is extremely common. When stools are very hard and difficult to have, it means that your child is constipated. I recommend miralax, (polyethylene glycol) or an off brand of the same thing, which is just a sugar that our bodies do not absorb. Give 1 cap full in 8 oz of fluid (water is fine) everyday. We want to stools to be mushy like applesauce so play with the dose, but give it everyday.
