Straining

My LO keep straining but not pooping. Every now and then a fart comes out but it seems like he’s struggling. He’s not constipated his poops are normal when he does poop. Has anyone else had this problem

How old? It's normal for newborns to do this as they haven't learned how to relax their pooping muscles yet

He’s almost 7 weeks. He doesn’t it constantly like almost nonstop. Just doesn’t seem comfortable

My baby is 5 weeks and has the same problem I got him some baby probiotic drops and they’ve helped him so much!

It may not be constipation, it could just be gas. Try bicycle legs, tummy massage, and colic hold and see if that helps.
