Poor girl! If she is constipated, the stools can definately become hard and big enough to be painful to pass at least. Have you considered increasing her intake of fibre as well? Get her some whole grain products, e.g soft bread and at the same time keep her away from e.g. bananas and too much dairy products. That could help the stools to remain softer without relying only on prune juice. It is not a big issue if she poops 3-4 times per day, better than it being painful! But if you experiement a little bit with what foods you give her, you could probably get rid of the constipation and still have her poop once or twice per day. Good luck! /Paula

When my son was a baby and having painful poops, I was told by his pediatrician to add a bit of Karo syrup to his bottle. Hope you can get your little one feeling better!

I feel your pain. My children went through the same thing when they were about a year old and starting to change foods (if that's your case). I had to also supplement with prune juice. It's perfectly normal for a child to go more than once a day. If she stays constipated, she could end up having hemorrhoids and those are more painful yet! Stick with foods high in fiber and healthy and she'll be fine.
