Baby straining and pushing but not poop

2025-06-17 21:28:09
I have a new born who is one month old .. he strains and pushes a lot the whole day and poops suddenly once in 2-3 days - exclusively breastfed - his stools are loose and normal not hard - how can I help him with his poop routine and his struggle as it's painful to watch him struggle and cry when he pushes and is unable to poop

Your baby likely has a condition called Infant Dyschezia — it means: • The baby strains, turns red, cries, and appears to struggle before passing soft stools. • Stools come every 2–3 days but are not hard or pellet-like. This is normal and not constipation. Advise: 1. Tummy massage 2. Bicycle legs exercise 3. Warm Bath 4. Burp well after each feed 5. Do not give gripe water, honey or any home remedies There's nothing to worry about, if you require reassurance you can always consult with their paediatrician.
