A member asked:
My 3 nearly 4 month old cant push his own poos and farts out. hes always in so much pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: Infants have week/flabby belly muscles & must often use their fussing/breathing muscle to push poop along. Some are more dramatic than others. It usually hurts us to watch more than it hurts them. By the time they sit muscle tone has improved & this is uncommon. If their poop is soft I don't worry about it.
