A. It is very common that children less than 6 months of age may not pass stool for sometime 10 days also. Slight discomfort as well as straining while passing urine and stool is also normal. You have to just take care of colic pain as well as gas in the abdomen and do not worry about the frequency of the stool if the consistency of the stool is semi solid to solid. please note thaxt intermittent crying that you see might be due to colic pain and not due to constipation.

A. Hello dear parent! Consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and seek medical advice. Continue to exclusively breastfeed your well on demand. Keep Babyhug tummy roll on handy. Good luck and take care.
