Poo...
Hey,
I have a five week old little girl and she seems to be really struggling to poo, she doesnt seem to be constipated (goes at least once a day) but gets really angry when she does go and she seems to really strain. She is breastfed, any ideas how I can make pooing easier for her as I hate to see her so cross!
Thanks,
Kate

As I said though, my lo has always strained (bright red face etc) but his poo is v. soft. As long as the poo is soft then your lo is not constipated.
But if she is getting frustrated then maybe rub her tummy in circles as lollyhatch says or hold her legs up and apart or make a "bicycle" movment with them(not very nice but does help it all come out lol)
