Get a Glycerine suppository and after removing the covering foil, lubricate it with some oil and insert it in the baby's anal opening. The glycerine will melt with the body temperature and cause evacuation of the stools
Next Steps
Ensure the baby passes stools regularly so that it does not become hard
