Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. Is this the first time this happened? Do you feel the child is straining to pass stool by going red in face or making unusual sounds? Does his abdomen feel hard? Is he on breast milk or formula? Did you change formula recently?
Kindly resend query with these answers, meanwhile give the child tummy time and bend his knees to stomach to help exercise his digestive system and help release stool. If this does happen often you can consult a child specialist. Some kids pass less frequent stools till they start eating solid foods.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Pediatricians in Islamabad and seek in-person advice.
