Should I be worried that my 19-month-old baby has not had a bowel movement in 5 days?

Constipation in infants is a common issue and can often be resolved by making simple dietary and lifestyle changes. Increasing your child's intake of fluids and fiber-rich foods, as well as encouraging physical activity, can help stimulate bowel movements. If these methods do not work, a laxative or glycerin suppository may be necessary. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and guidance on how to address constipation in young children.
