Hello,
I can suggest you some remedies to help your baby.Exercise. Moving a baby's legs can help relieve constipation. Giving a baby a warm bath can relax their abdominal muscles and help them stop straining. Dietary changes, not to many potatoes, use olive oil in his soups. Hydration. Massage his tummy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
