When you become a 'constipation doula'

Let’s be real—sometimes being a parent means becoming a “constipation doula” for our little ones! 😅💩

From cheering them on during the process, like they’re running a marathon, to giving them the “deep breath, you’ve got this” pep talk, we’re right there in the bathroom coaching them through it all! 🏅

Constipation is quite common in kids and often occurs during significant changes, like when infants start new foods, toddlers are learning to use the toilet, or school-aged children experience routine shifts. Symptoms of constipation can include belly pain, pain while using the bathroom, a decreased appetite, or reduced or harder bowel movements. To learn more about how to manage constipation in kids, including dietary changes, behavioral modifications, and medication, check out my YouTube videos on constipation.

I’ve thought this many times while coaching my child. Literally the exact same language.
