Chances are the child is drinking to much milk or is lactose intolerant. To much calcium usually hardens stool.

take a stool softner


What could be wrong if your 2-year-old dog won't eat or drink the past 2 days and just lies around and you took him to the vet and they gave him a stool softener but didn't say what was wrong?

If they think he's constipated (which they obviously believe, hence the stool softner) it might take a day or two for things to work. If he isn't better after 1 or 2 days of treatment with the stool softner, take him back to the vet.

Why would there be mucus in a child?

If you are worried take the child to a doctor with a sample of the stool. Everyone has mucus in their stool to some extent. The bowel is lined with mucous membrane which helps the passage of the stool. Sometimes it becomes excessive if there is an inflammation, or the bowel is irritated (for example by spicy food). If the child is healthy and apart from this the stools are normal and the mucus is not bloodstained, forget about it.


Do all pregnant women get constipated?

During the 3rd trimester(6-9 months) the baby will sometimes mess with the mothers "regular" schedule. But not always. Eating smaller meals and taking a stool softner works great. My doctor prescribed a pre-natal with a softner built in and I had no issues during my 3 pregnancies.

My kids are having a hard time reaching the kitchen counter, what size stools should I be looking at?

The height of the stool should be no more than six inches. The stool should have a wide, solid base rather than legs. Choose a stool that's weighty (wood) rather than lightweight (plastic). Work with the child on how to use the stool. Very young kids forget they are standing on a stool and then step off and fall.
