Most one-day old newborns have their first bowel movement.
It is possible to do so. While sleeping, people young or old can make a bowel movement. It's better to make a bowel movement or take a laxative well before going to sleep to avoid this.
A 2-year-old can typically go without a bowel movement for one to three days without it being a cause for concern. However, each child is different, and factors such as diet, hydration, and individual health can influence bowel habits. If a child goes longer than this without a bowel movement, or shows signs of discomfort, it's advisable to consult a pediatrician.
Please go to the doctor as soon as possible!!
If he is reasonably normal as far as intelligence, has no physical issue, then yes, he should be able to do it himself.
