HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that as long as the age of child is concern this is not the constipation and should never be treated as a constipation, because at the age of 15 months some time child did not pass the stool for a days, and this is nothing to worry, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
