Is there anything I can give him to soften his stool?
33-year-old woman
Hi, my 18 month old baby has a very sore tummy and has trouble pooping. She bends her back backwards and it hurts. She barely manages to get anything out and it's stuck on her anus.

Hello ma'am, when did you first notice this? Have you tried anything about this problem?

She has been having trouble with her bowel movements for 4 days! We have tried the lax-a-day, but without success! She is still straining and it seems painful!

she managed to make a saddle, but she has a raw area! Is there a great cream to heal this area?

Thanks for the information, I'm sorry for the delay I didn't see the notification!
Lax-A-Day is my first option, the amount of powder is given according to his weight, I could confirm this with you if you give me his weight.
Otherwise, encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids according to his preferences and to eat foods rich in fiber such as fruits and vegetables and whole grains.
For irritation in the diaper area I suggest a 40% zinc based ointment like Zincofax extra strength that can be applied at each diaper change.
I will be available if you have any further questions!
