Hello,
I can understand your worry, but it is not the case that is to be worried. In the age of just 10 month, passing of stool is very uncertain and goes on variation up to far extent.
Some children pass the stool on every day basis some passes twice of thrice a day likewise. Some may not pass it for couple of days, so it does not indicates the disease condition, but it is the physiological phenomenon, so the diet should be taken care, and water intake should be enough.
Sometime medicines may cause the constipation, it is just nothing to worry, only thing is, it should be long lasting or happening on regular basis. If this is so, then you have to see the pediatrician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
