A member asked:

My 32 days baby girl is been fed on both formular and breastmilk. now she strain to poo. what must i do to make her poo freely?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Newborn pooping: Many newborns make grunting sounds and appear to strain while passing stool. This is their way of learning how to poop. Don't worry - the "straining" is not hurting them.
