Toilet train your kid. Make him squat and pass stool daily and one standard time. Make it a habit for him. Avoid packed items in his diet. Include fibre rich diet like fruits. Most important make him squat and pass stools. No standing and passing in diapers. Duphalac helps temporarily. But how long would u want to depend on this. Train him and see the difference.
