Baby constipation?

[Nellie24567]

My beautiful little boy Simon,
keeps straining and pushing like he's trying to push a poop out.
What did some of you mum's do for constipation? We gave him a massage earlier yesterday at 3pm and he did do a poo but he is still straining every now and again.
I think it may be formula but me and my partner are at a disagreement about it.
Any tips and tricks or advice would be appreciated, thanks. ✨👣

How old is he? What was the poo like? It sounds like it could just be infant dyschzia.

He is 37 weeks + 2 days.

He can’t be 37 weeks, that’s 8 months and he doesn’t look like he’s 8 months. How long ago was he born?

He is 15 days old. How many weeks pregnant were you when he was born?

This was his stool afew days ago, I took him to the hospital and they gave him a laxative and did an x-ray.
He's still straining and I have to wait til tomorrow to get into the doctors.
He just seems so uncomfortable which makes me upset.

35 weeks.

With a newborn premmie I would be seeking medical. Ring the delievery ward and ask their advice.
