Poo problems in childhood are really common – constipation alone affects a third of all children. Because we’re not very good at talking about these problems, we can feel that our child is the only one.
The good news is we have lots of information to help you and your child understand what is going on. If you already know your child is constipated, head straight for 'Advice for children with constipation'. Otherwise, take a look at ‘Poo problems – where to start’ first.
