My breastfeeding six week old is having difficulty passing stools and gas, he grunts and pushes but only occasionally gets farts out. The Dr. Said to give two once of prune juice a day, but we've been doing that for four days now and only got a little poo out. Any suggestions on how I can help him?

We were having the same problem on formula. My dr told me to try taking his temp rectally. If that didn't work to try a tsp of karyo syrup.

Take his legs and push them up into his belly. Like fold him in half. You'll have to push alittle hard and it should help him poop. My son had the same issue. Also what @tiinii said. Rub his tummy. I can't remember if it's clockwise or counterclock wise (you can look it up) and that should help.

Yeah what @db413 said too. You can also just use a qtip instead of the thermometer.
