I have a 6 weeks old baby. she is grunting and seems to be straining a lot, she is in a lot of pain. her bowels are extremely watery and she spits up?

Sounds pretty normal: The signs you note are common at this age.If baby is robust with her feedings & playful at times, this can all be normal. If the baby has declined in her feedings & appears to be hurting to you (you know her best) then it may be worthy of an office visit.Good luck.
