Dítě bez záchodu: co dělat, když se dítě nevyprazdňuje

When a child goes without a bowel movement, it’s one of those things that makes parents instantly anxious. But dítě bez záchodu, stav, kdy dítě nemá stolici déle než 3–4 dny, ale jinak vypadá zdravě a nebolestí. Also known as zácpa u dětí, it is not always a sign of illness — especially in breastfed babies. Many parents panic after two days without a bowel movement, but the truth is, some children naturally go less often — and that’s okay.

Dětské trávení, systém, který se v prvních letech života mění a přizpůsobuje se stravě. Also known as nepravidelné stolice, it can look very different from adult digestion. A breastfed infant might go once a day or once a week — both are normal if the stool is soft and the baby is feeding well, gaining weight, and not in pain. Formula-fed babies usually go more often, but skipping a day or two is still common. What matters most is not frequency, but consistency and comfort. If your child is straining, crying, or has hard, pebble-like stools, that’s a different story. Then it’s not just infrequent — it’s zácpa u dětí, stav, kdy stolice je tvrdá, bolestivá a obtížně odcházejí. Also known as konstipace, it requires attention. Common causes include too much milk, not enough fiber, dehydration, or even stress from potty training.

Don’t rush to laxatives or suppositories. Start simple: offer more water, prune juice, fruits like pears or plums, and whole grains. Encourage movement — crawling, walking, or even gentle belly massages can help. If your child is potty training and holding back, talk to them calmly. Fear of pain can become a habit. And if your child hasn’t had a bowel movement in more than five days, has a swollen belly, vomits, or seems unusually fussy — see a doctor. These are red flags.
