poor baby needs a poo...

[cull]

Help! My 15 wk old breastfed DS hasn't pooed in a few days - not a new thing, but he's so uncomfortable right now. He just sits there and screams and pushes, I feel like I'm coaching him through childbirth (you're doing great, don't forget to breathe...) Any tips on how to make him more comfortable? I don't want to give him anything but would appreciate any handy hints!

I was taught clockwise, when the massage was for pooing purposes.

so pleased that whatever it was worked at last. and i presume that lo is lots more comfortable and relaxed now?

He was very pleased with himself! But I don't think he's done. He still seems to be struggling a bit. And he's got the smelliest farts right now!! I keep wanting to say "what did you eat?!" but of course it was me!!

My DS is a really stinky farter. I think when the poo is sitting in there so long, the farts just build up and smell worse and worse.
