What food and routines can help with pooping?

Pooping is easier if diet and daily habits cooperate. With small adjustments, you can prevent many problems.

In this section, you'll get exactly what you need to get started right away, step by step.

Start the day with fiber

Give fruit or whole-grain breakfast.

Why this works: fiber keeps the stool soft.

Make sure they drink enough

Water and tea without sugar are ideal.

Why this works: moisture prevents hard stools.

Schedule fixed 'poop moments'

Let your child try for a while after the meal.

Why this works: you take advantage of the natural reflex of the intestines.

Exercise stimulates

Playing outside and running help the intestines.

Why this works: active children often have better bowel movements.

Make it a habit to sit for a while shortly after breakfast. This way your child learns a fixed rhythm.
