Toddler Complaining of Stomach and Bottom Pain

If her tummy AND bottom hurt, maybe she's trying to pass hard stools, and it hurts to poop, so she's holding it, which in turn is hurting her belly. Maybe give her something to soften stuff up, lots of fiber, maybe a little prune juice.

The bottom alone could mean maybe she's not getting wiped properly... not your fault, 2 1/2 year olds are wiggly! Have her bend over and touch her toes... if she's a little rashy, wipe well with warm soapy water on a wash cloth, then put a little Desitin on there.

My best guess is the first thing though.

I agree with Rachel, with the pain in both places it sounds as if your daughter may have some hard stools. Fruits, fibers and lots of water (every day) may help.

I hope she feels better soon ❤

I was just going to ask too, could she be constipated?

I agree with everyone that suggested constipation. The only suggestion I would add to the ones you've gotten already is to try the pre-moistened flushable wipes- they are much more comfortable to a sensitive bottom.

Could be just about anything but 3 wks ago I had a stomach virus that was very painful with excruciating stomach pains and diarrhea. I didn't vomit and never felt the need to but man! Could be a touch of that? Hope she feels better.
