My one month old son is having trouble passing bowel movement. what can i do to help him?

Infant constipation: Give your son an extra bottle of water especially if he is bottle-fed. Insert liquid glycerin. Liquid glycerin (babylax) may be gently inserted by dropping it into you son's rectum, which often stimulates a bowel movement.
