Grunting: If she is grunting all day this could be a breathing problem. If it is related to passing stool dilute apple juice or extra water in her diet may help. The bowel is like every other muscle, it needs to learn how to work. All the best.

May be her normal: Infants have no social training and often make odd sounds and seem to strain in the usual course of their day. If she is feeding,sleeping, stooling and growing okay I would not assume she is in pain or sick. If the process bothers you enough, have her doc examine her to see if there is any issues to treat, if not, let her be.
