Try rubbing his belly and pumping his legs
gently when you are aware that he is
trying to have a bowel movement. If it
doesn't get any better by the time he goes
for his next check up, talk to the doctor
about what you can do to help him. The
doctor might know of something you can
give him to loosen his stools.
My little man had the same problem, my
pediatrician said to take 2 ounces of
unflavored pedialite & a teaspoon of
dark karo syrup, mix it up and give a
little to the baby.
He hasn't had a hard poopie since!

My step son had the same problem but his
carried on for a long time. We were told
to try giving him a small amount of flax
seed mixed in with his food and it worked
like a charm so give that a try.
P.S it tastes like crap so make sure it's
in something that he enjoys
