A member asked:
My daughter is a week old and is very fussy when trying to have a bowel movement what can i do to help her relieve that pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: It's a very normal behavior in neonates, during bowel movement they can squirm, be fussy, turn their faces red and so on. You can gently massage her belly with baby oil, keep her in comfortable position, no rocking or shaking please. Then if she had normal stool that's your reward for efforts.
