This doesn't happen every day but recently my DD (15 months) seems to have very large stools which she is having awful trouble passing and they often get stuck, so I have had to help her quite a few times as she is getting very distressed and her bum is sore / bleeding.
She usually has 1-2 bowel movements every day and stools look a normal colour etc. but are just extremely large sometimes - I'm not sure if this is a form of constipation or not, as I always thought that meant small, blackish, dry stools? It happened yesterday and again today so she isn't going a long time between.
I think she eats a pretty good diet but I'm wondering if she is lacking in something? she drinks water and cow's milk - I wouldn't say massive amounts of water maybe 1-1.5 sippy cups a day but always has it available plus about 10-12oz milk per day.
Does anyone have any idea's what to do about this?
