Good morning, ma'am, You did the right thing by encouraging him to drink more fluids, especially with an extra glass of milk or formula. I also suggest that you give him some 'exercises': on his back, you can bend his knees towards his chest and make him simulate the movement of pedaling. Below 7 days of constipation, no need to worry. I invite you to check out the link from Birth and Growth for more details, it's a very useful resource! https://naitreetgrandir.com/fr/sante/naitre-grandir-sante-enfant-constipation-selle/ I am available if you have any other questions!
