Hello,
It is important to first identify the underlying cause of the stomach pain and difficulty passing stool in your infant. It is possible that your baby is constipated, which can cause discomfort and pain. Some remedies for
constipation in infants include:
* Increasing fluid intake:
Breastfeeding or bottle-feeding more frequently can help relieve constipation.
* Tummy time: This can help your baby exercise and stimulate the bowels.
* Bicycle legs: Gently moving your baby's legs in a bicycle motion can help move things along.
* Warm bath: This can help relax your baby and relieve pain.
* Massage: Gently massaging your baby's tummy in a circular motion can help move things along.
If your baby's symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention. Your doctor may recommend other treatment options, such as medication or a change in diet.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. H. Kay, General & Family Physician
