Is my baby learning to use the potty and having very hard stools?

It is common for children who are learning to use the potty to experience constipation. It is important to encourage and reward them positively without making them feel pressured. It is recommended to focus on non-pharmacological measures such as increasing fluid intake and consuming fiber-rich foods. Avoid giving adult medications to children and only use suppositories specifically designed for children to avoid further irritation. If the stool is very hard, giving a suppository may worsen the situation. Remember that each child has their own pace in learning this new skill.
