How to i help my 5weeks old baby poo easily? he is non exclusive breastfeeding.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several issues : A 5 wk old is becoming more robust in its efforts and will often make a lot of noise pooping. Their main muscle for this action is the breathing muscle and will be until the flabby belly muscles mature. If the poo is soft and emptying is regular i would not be concerned.If the poo is hard extra water of prune juice 1oz 2x day may help.
