Many parents express concerns when their infant struggles with toileting. While some providers suggest it’s normal for infants to go up to a week without a bowel movement, we believe this is rare and often signals an underlying issue.
At Unconstipated Kids, we understand that a healthy infant should be able to pee and poop without difficulty. When challenges arise, they are typically linked to factors such as food sensitivities, inutero positioning, stressors, less-than-ideal movement patterns, or developmental delays. These factors can disrupt healthy bowel and bladder function, and until they are identified and addressed, the issues may persist.
Our pediatric pelvic floor therapists use their expertise to assess these factors and guide families in making the necessary changes. For instance, infants with limited poop frequency may exhibit signs such as stiff legs during times of big emotions, low tolerance for tummy time, or a preference for one side during play. Through a combination of developmental knowledge, dietary assessment, and targeted therapy, we help alleviate toileting challenges and support your baby’s healthy growth.
