My son will be 2 months tomorrow. He has been having a hard time pooping. He cries every time. Besides rubbing his belly and moving his legs to help with the constipation, what are other things I can do for him. It breaks my heart to see him suffering.
I did the same with my son except my doctor told me to use a q tip and vaseline. just stimulate the area
@karenx3, oh thank you. My cousin's wife was telling me she did that with her daughter and I really didn't pay her any mind until now that you said the same thing. I will definitely do that. Thank you.
My son was constipated when he was a few weeks old. I took him to the doctor and she suggested I stick the thermometer in his butt as if checking his temperature and hold his legs up as if you're changing a diaper and move the poop around and just hold his legs up for a minute while he pushes the poop out that way. My son didn't cry one bit.
Yup I second the thermomoTer !!!! My son was constipated at that age ... The pedi said to leave it in long enough to talk a temp ...
