Probably constipated: Of course there can always be something more worrisome going on, but it is unlikely. If the stool is hard and not soft, it is most likely that she is constipated. If you can get her to eat some baby prunes for a few days, it will likely get a lot better. Another option is MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) if available in south africa.

Painful stools: Baby may be dehydrated, or constipated from formula ingredients, or fever. Try giving few ounces of water. See pediatrician concerning formula (may need different type) or fever. Peds may recommend more fluids, or otc stool softener, or glycerin suppository (not 2 b used often).
