Since approx 2 months, my 2.2 yrs old son is not applying any pressure to poop and on 3 day after no poop, he poops only little bit. his first stool is somewhat hard and rest is soft. This is the daily routine and he takes 40 minutes to poop and on alternate day. he never tries to apply force or pressure to poop and sits there as if he has gone to play. He constantly keeps on repeating NHI KARNI POTTY. And keeps on crying while going to washroom. I have to console him and then he poops a bit on 3day after 40 minutes. What can be the reason? Kindly help.

It is normal in this season; there is no need to worry. Give more fluids and bananas, as children usually take less fluids during this season.
. Use an Amal suppository if needed.
This age is usually called the Amal stage of development, during which children often enjoy toilet training. Do not impose strict rules; each stage of development should progress smoothly for proper development.
