A one-page chart for noticing patterns instead of guessing. Fill in a line a day, and after a week or two you'll have the clearest picture of what's really going on — and so will your pediatrician.

Short answer
What is the Daily Poop Tracker?
The Daily Poop Tracker is a printable one-page log for children who hold poop, poop infrequently, or have painful or hard stools. It gives you a place to note each day's poop (or no poop), what it looked like, any pain or holding, and your child's mood, plus a weekly summary. It is most useful in the first weeks of a change, and at a pediatrician visit.
What's on the sheet
- A daily grid: date, time, poop or no poop, where it happened (potty, diaper, accident)
- A simple consistency guide in parent words (hard pebbles, lumpy, soft, loose)
- Checkboxes for pain, straining, holding behaviors and accidents
- A mood guide so you can spot the link between holding days and tough days
- A weekly summary box to bring to your pediatrician

How to use it
Print one sheet per week and keep it in the bathroom with a pen. Fill it in once a day, in the evening, rather than hovering after each potty trip.
Record what happened, not what you hoped for. A week of honest 'no poop' days is far more useful to your pediatrician than a tidy chart.
Note anything that changed that day: a new food, a sick day, a stressful morning, a daycare day. Patterns often live in those notes.
After seven days, fill in the weekly summary. Look for gaps of several days, pain, or holding. Those are the things to raise with your pediatrician.
If you see any of the warning signs listed further down this page, contact your pediatrician now rather than waiting for the week to end.
