Gassy new born
My newborn baby boy is 17 days old. He is struggling a lot before pooping. He even takes less feed from me when he is struggling to poop. After pooping he becomes normal. Till he poops he struggles a lot even for 2 to 3 hours. I even hears a sound in my baby stomach when he is struggling to poop and he cries because of that . When pooping he poops with a heavy sound.What should i do to avoid gassy stomach and struggling to poop for my baby.
