My 3 year son stool become hard
My 3 year old son stool become hard due to which he face lot of problem. He call for potty in 2-3 days interval. We used so many laxative like relux and lactose but not worked.

Stool formation depends totally on the diet you give.
Add high fiber items such as cornflakes,Dalia,green leafy vegetables,fruits like cheeku,apple,mangoes and oranges.
Stool softeners are to be used only in intractable cases.
