A member asked:
My 6 weeks old baby has been been making sounds of constipation when passing or trying to pass stool. her stools are loose though showing no constipation. what could be the issue?

Normal variant: Babies that age have flabby soft abdominal muscles.They often must rely on their fussing/breathing muscles to move food through the system & poop.Some are more dramatic about it than others. The pattern improves over time as they develop more mobility & tighten their belly muscles.
