hi,,,, in 2 yr. old baby the frequency of stool pass is irregular. it may be once in 2 or 3 days. so it is not constipation. but if the stool is hard solid most of time than its called constipation. some time due to narrow anal canal orifice, stool can't pass easily and baby has difficulty in stool passing. so if u found narrow orifice than advise of surgeon should be taken for that,,,,
