[|AI|]  Hi...what you are quoting is exactly called encopresis. This occurs when the kid has hard stools, almost similar to constipation. But what happens here is the liquid stools will seep out on the sides of the hard stools and leak out. But, the main treatment of this is receiving of constipation. Suggestions:1. Natural methods are the best to relieve constipation.2. Constipation is a risk factor for UTI3. Maximum milk consumption per day should not exceed 300-400ml4. Minimum 3-4 cups of fruits and vegetables to be consumed per day5. Toilet training - that is - sitting in Indian type of lavatory daily at the same time will help a lot. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome.
