My 4 months boy is not pooping regularly
My baby is not pooping regularly. In the last one month period, weekly once he has pooped that also we are forcing the baby to poop by applying oil on the anus and lifting, pushing the legs to stress stomach.
We had to do that because when he farts he cries a lot with too much pain and really struggles to push the air out of anus.
Could you please help me to understand this issue and advise on the remedy?

Your child has constipation. Its cause need to be evaluated. Simple constipation just needs laxatives. But specific causes need to be ruled out. Please don't ignore it otherwise complications can be much more serious.
