Constipation 101: a mini-course about poop for parents (and what to do about constipation)

Having a constipated kid is HARD because it can affect so many things: their sleep, their diet, potty training, family outings, and even tantrums/meltdowns. It can feel frustrating when all the information you see is just “eat more fiber” or “give medication” or “try this non-evidence based supplement that costs $90” without any more nuance or details or practical strategies about NUTRITION. So I compiled all of that for you in this mini-course!

This course is 42 minutes TOTAL and has information about supplements (including probiotics), milk + constipation, how picky eating can affect pooping, and the magical poop fruits. Check it out below and leave your questions in the YouTube comments!

Hi 👋 I’m Dr. Taylor and I am so glad you are here! I have a PhD in nutrition, am a pediatric registered dietitian, and am a mom of 2 (soon to be 3).

In this course, I share the science (with citations – of course), my clinical experience, and a little bit of mom know-how. One of my favorite parts of this course? It’s FREE. 100% completely free. No up-selling, no saving my best info for inside a paid membership, no annoying sales e-mails. I believe that EVERY parent should have easy access to this info. So I decided to take action on that belief and create this course.

FAQ

This course is for parents of kids ages 12+ months who are struggling with constipation. While some of these strategies may be useful for babies ages 6-12 months, there are additional considerations here (like the type of formula, if the baby is formula fed) that aren’t covered in this course.

Depends! Constipation 101 is a topic specific course that covers ONLY constipation. If this is your biggest challenge, start here. If picky eating is playing a role in your child’s struggle with constipation, Variety 101 and Growing Intuitive Eaters 101 may also be courses that you will find helpful.

NO. Constipation is a medical concern and should always be addressed with your child’s pediatrician first. This course is meant to provide additional information and education to parents who are already working closely with their child’s pediatrician or pediatric dietitian on constipation management.

Because I think every parent deserves to have evidence-based, helpful, and FREE information to support them in feeding their kids. This course is a comprehensive picky eating and selective eating course — and I promise I won’t try to upsell you on anything or hide my best information behind a paywall.
