Product Information

The time it takes their feed to go through their system (called ‘transit time’) will be faster at 3 months old than at 12 months old. This means the number of poos your baby does each day reduces as they grow.

Formula-fed babies' poo tends to be firmer, darker brown and stronger smelling than breastfed babies. Some formulas can also make your baby's poo a different colour such as dark green.We have 3 try sessions a day: morning, lunch (trained TA does this) and after tea. She is richly rewarded for any poo that comes out. Basically I think her body is now used to evacuating at one of those times and the learned reflexes that held poo in are now learning a new controlled habit that prevents soiling. A normal bowel pattern can range from several times a day to several times a week. It’s a good idea to pay attention to what your bowel habit is. Knowing what's 'normal' and how to keep your child’s bowel working properly makes it easier to spot if something is not right.

The bowel is a long tube-like organ which is part of our digestive system. This system begins when we put food into our mouths. Chewing food into little pieces makes it easier to swallow. Ensure that your child drinks adequate fluids, six to eight glasses of water per day. Constipation is related to dehydration in the colon so you need to make sure your child is drinking lots of water throughout the day. This will help the stool stay soft and easy to pass. A high fibre diet can help some people with constipation. Your child’s diet should include fruit, vegetables, nuts, wholemeal bread, pasta and wholegrain cereals. Habits and routine

What is normal bowel function?

ERIC’s new Right to Go campaign aims to ensure that children receive appropriate support for continence problems or toileting issues in early years and school settings.

She was very reluctant at first and it's taken a good 6 months (which I understand is good going!) to get her down to less than one accident a week. Children who suffer encopresis often begin to feel that there is little more to them than the problem itself. In 'Poo Goes Home to Pooland', the problem is embodied in a troublesome character and placed externally to the child. This process aims to place some distance between the child and the blame and the shame of soiling. This helps to free them from their fears and may mobilise previously beleaguered resources within the child and their family. Baby girls may pass some white discharge from their vagina which is often tinged with blood. This is normal and is caused by hormonal changes. When the bowel is working normally, children should produce a soft, easy to pass poo at least 4 times a week. Ideally, children should pass some soft poo every day.

Weaning changes poo. Once your baby starts on solids, their poo will smell stronger and be less easy to wipe. Your baby may be suffering from diarrhoea if their poo is very watery and they’re passing bigger amounts of poo more often than normal.

You can ask your health visitor, school or pre-school for a referral to speak to a continence nurse who can assist with toilet training advice. Follow the medication regime the consultant has given you. If you do not understand what is being said in your consultation, please do ask. The most commonly prescribed medication for constipation is Movicol. This is an osmotic laxative, which means it encourages water into the stools to make them softer to pass. The initial dose required will have been discussed in your consultation, but everyone can respond differently. Therefore, it can require experimentation to find the right dose for your child. Remember as your child’s parents you are the experts on their daily bowel pattern so by monitoring this you will be able to work out if you need to increase or decrease the dose of your child’s medication.
