POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy10 months agoA. It’s quite common for newborns, especially those under a month old, to experience discomfort with bowel movements as their digestive systems are still maturing. Tight stools can be painful for babies, causing them to cry while passing them. Here are a few remedies to help relieve this discomfort:
First, ensure your baby is adequately hydrated, as dehydration can sometimes lead to hard stools. If you're breastfeeding, make sure your baby is feeding well and frequently, as this helps keep their digestive system moving smoothly. If you're formula feeding, check that the formula is appropriate for their age, as some formulas can cause constipation. Gently massaging your baby’s tummy in a clockwise direction can help relieve trapped gas and stimulate bowel movement. You can also try bicycling your baby’s legs (moving their legs in a gentle cycling motion while they lie on their back) to encourage bowel movement and relieve any gas buildup. Additionally, a warm bath can help relax their muscles and ease any discomfort. If the problem persists or worsens, it’s important to consult your pediatrician for further evaluation and advice, as they may recommend gentle stool softeners or other interventions if necessary.
