A member asked:

16 month hasn't had a bowel movement since saturday it's now thursday. very cranky and wants to nurse a lot. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Poop every 3 days: A toddler should have a stool at least every 3 days. Try some prune juice, a suppository, or some rectal stimulation (I.e., with a thermometer in the rectum). If this doesn't work, please contact your Pediatrician to make sure there is no mechanical obstruction. Good luck.
