Constipation is a common childhood problem. It happens often at two points early in a child's life. The first time is generally around the time when baby starts eating solid foods and starts to shift from a full fluid diet to having milk/formula and solids. The second time it commonly occurs is around toilet training. Sometimes children don't like the experience of toilet training, start to hold their bowel movements, thereby causing constipation. Beyond these two more common times, constipation unfortunately, can strike at any point.
