Thank you for posting your query.
brief answer: hard stool and discomfort in a child during defecation
detailed answer: No need to worry about PALE color of stool, however, if the color is grey you need to visit a Pediatrician asap.
for the relief of exertional defecation , advice is :
-warm water intake (boiled water)
-include "fresh orange" and pear in diet
- avoid COLD milk and yogurt
-try switching to another formula (if using powder milk)
-cooked soup or noodles (ofcourse NOT hot BUT warm maybe ingested)
- pediatric colic drops maybe used
- warm/hot water bag maybe placed against the abdomen over clothes to provide comfort
hope the bowel movement would be normal.
any further questions are welcomed.
In case, the baby does NOT pass stool for couple to few days OR the stool color is NOT yellow(means grey ), then its better to meet your treating physician.
hope to answer your concern.
