Newborn fussing

[missorinoco]

It's been under two years but I've completely forgotten.

Do all newborns make a fuss about straining and poos, or is ds (3 weeks) probably uncomfortable. He sort of grunts, groans and squirms. Different from his high pitched shrieks for wind.

I keep picking him up and cuddling him, or trying to feed the poor guy (imagine someone shoving a sandwich at you whilst you're on the loo ), but if this is normal and they all do it I'll leave him in peace to get on with it.

DD2 (12 weeks) will only poo if im holding her upright with her feet on my lap - so she can standup - and yes, grunting etc

we do tummy massage and cycle legs, warm baths etc
