Hello, I am hopeing someone out there can
please help me. My sister had a new baby
3 months ago, she has noticed that when
the baby gose to the bathroom to do the
number 2 she screams and crys everytime
and it is not hard after she is frinshed.
It is like the baby is in pain and after
she is frinshed she is fine. She has
taken her to see 2 doctors and they both
told her the same thing give her white
grape juice. She has been doing that and
it is not helping at all. She is going
to call more dr and see if anyone else
will look at the baby she is really
worried about the baby. She said she
looked down there and the baby butt hole
is very very small. Dose anyone out there
know what might be going on with the baby.
The 2 dr she did take the baby to never
once looked at her down there where she
gose to the bathroom they just pushed on
her stomache and told her to give her the
white grape juice. The baby is 3 and half
months old. As soon as she drinks her
bottle she gose to the bathroom right
after that. That happens everytime no
matter what time it is right after she
gets frinshed drinking her bottle she gose
to the bathroom. Please help me. Is this
normal for the baby to do this thank you

The skin around the anus is very elastic
and doesn't really matter how small it
is....it's going to look especially small
on a little baby. The problem is not
where you think it is, but farther up in
her intestines. Even diarrhea can be a
sign of constipation, because there is
blockage farther up and only more liquid
substances can pass through. The grape
juice will help with the constipation and
gas. Gas also is a sign of constipation.
You can also try gripe water and prune
juice and see if that is more effective.
If the baby is not breastfeeding, try
switching to a formula that is lower in
iron.
