Baby Constipation

My girlfriend who just had a baby called all worried one day – because her baby  seems constipated. She asked me if Missy Moo had the same problem when she was a baby.  But truth be told Missy Moo pooped everyday without a problem – but she was on bottled milk – so i don’t know if there was any difference.  Anyhow, I tried to calm her down and told her the that frequency of bowl movements varies with different babies.  However, if the baby’s infrequent bowel movements are hard and dry and difficult to pass, she may be constipated.  And to help the baby relieve some discomfort, my grandmother used to rub my sister’s babies tummy all the time.  You can also bend her legs into her tummy and gently rotate in a clockwise motion.
