A. straining while passing stool as well as urine is normal. the child is crying due to colic pain (due to gas) and not due to the reason that the child has not passed the stool. infants may not pass stool for 10 days also and if the consistency of the stool is semi solid to solid it is not constipation. you can consider constipation only if it is hard and dry stools. you can give anticolic medicines axnd meet your doctor. burping / upright position for 20 minutes will help in decreasing the gas and future colic pain

A. Hai good morning !! Constipation in new born babies is common until 4-5 days if baby is normally taking feed,without any gas,tight tummy nothing to worry,dont opt for enoma. Just do regular tummy massage with warm castor or coconut oil gently massage with finger tips in cloclwise direction.
