A. Hello Father If your baby does react to the feeling of pooping more intensely, try massaging their belly or legs before or while they are doing it. You might try putting a warm water bottle on their belly during the process, but be sure to check first that the temperature is not too hot for them . Serve high-fiber foods such as fresh fruits, dried fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Offer 4 ounces a day of prune juice or pear juice until the problem clears up. Encourage your child to drink water to help soften stools. Go easy on high-fat foods as well as those that are high in sugar; they can be binding
