A. your child is straining while making a bowel movement, this may be a sign of constipation. Constipated babies often produce very hard, clay-like stools. Hard stools can be difficult to pass, so they may push or strain more than usual to pass the waste. They may also be fussy and cry when having a bowel movement.Exercise. Moving a baby's legs can help relieve constipation. ...A warm bath. Giving a baby a warm bath can relax their abdominal muscles and help them stop straining. ...Dietary changes. ...Hydration. ...Massage. ...Fruit juice. ...Taking a rectal temperature.A 6-12 month old baby needs two to eight ounces of water per day on top of the water they get from breast milk/formula. Taking sips from their cups throughout the day will usually get them the water they need.
