She is not complaining, and she doesnt have a temperature, but she normally goes once a day! She is 2yr 10 months, not sure what to do?? Any suggestions?

If she normally goes every day, 4 days is a long time - if my dd goes this long she really struggles to poo and it's painful for her.

It might be worth trying her with a few prunes, see if they shift it.

Got the same issue with my 14 wk old. No sign since last friday. When it comes, it's going to be immense. He's trumping, just not pooing.

Like your dd there is no sign of discomfort. If there was, or her tummy was bloated or she did have a temp i would be more concerned. Fingers crossed she'll go in the next day or so!

Ds is just like this, although by day 4 we are beginning to complain a bit and he does struggle to go in the end. Then its HUGE! Poor thing!
He won't touch prunes but increasing the amount he drinks and fruit of any sort does help get him moving. He's 2.9

thanks everyone, will try the prunes tomorrow. Got the air freshner at the ready. Trumps are bad enough, poor thing

I know this is going to make me sound like a madwoman but do you have a trampoline? My DS ALWAYS has a poo after a big bounce!
