put petroleum jelly on his thermometer and put it in his rectum that usually helped my baby it makes them push

@mommyjazz no problem! Hoping your sweet lil one feels better fast and you both are able to relax! 💕

@marmber, @eternalsunshine4 @elijahsmom0317 thank you fellow mommies so needed some pointers cus I can't go another night of hours of screaming my mental stablity depends on it

yes massaging belly in a clockwise motion will help. just make sure use firm pressurs but not hard as if pushing on his stomach. my daughter was constipated and this helped, she almost blow out her diaper.

when my son had that problem his pediatrician told me to give him a little bit of apple juice

I think the point is to massage the bowels and get them to move.

I think if you look up constipation in newborns it says to massage their tummy in a circular motion (clockwise?) and move their legs like on a bicycle. I would google just to be sure!
