A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diet/retaining: Some kids have slow transit of the foods through their gut resulting in excessive drying/hard stools. Starting at 6-9 mo some actually try to retain their stool to avoid the discomfort of passing one. Either may benefit from natural looseners like prune/peach/pear juices. Others may need daily Miralax for months ( a water retaining product).
