Specializes in Pediatrics

Baby poo... : Babies at this age poo many times a day; bath time poo's are the most difficult to clean up, certainly. As long as his stools are soft and his abdomen is not swollen, a little fussing or crying while he poops is normal. If his stools are truly hard or cause bleeding of his bottom when he passes them, this is a constipation problem that needs to be addressed with his pediatrician.
