2 weeks old baby struggling to do his poop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: Newborns have weak/flabby stomach muscles & poop laying flat on their back. They must often use their fussing/breathing muscles to generate enough pressure to move food along or poop. It usually improves with age when the become more mobile & the muscles strengthen.
