A member asked:
My 16 week old goes pure red when crying and pooping. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: It is not uncommon for a full term, otherwise healthy, 16 wk d baby to temporarily become flushed while straining to stool. As long as baby is feeding and growing it is not usually a problem. Your pediatrician can assess stool pattern and counsel you on ways to soften the stool at your next appointment.
