How long can a toddler go without having a bowel movement?

A toddler can typically go without a bowel movement for about 3 to 5 days without it being a cause for concern, although this can vary based on their diet and individual circumstances. If a toddler is otherwise healthy, active, and not experiencing discomfort, occasional longer gaps may be normal. However, if a toddler consistently goes longer than this without a bowel movement or shows signs of distress, it's advisable to consult a pediatrician.
