1. Stomach Massage Gently massage the stomach of your baby, in a clockwise direction with the help of your fingertips. Massage around the naval as well, in an outward, spherical motion. It will eradicate the tension out of your baby’s tummy and give him/her relief from the symptoms of constipation. 2. Exercise Keep your infant on his/her back. Hold his/her legs in a ½ bent position. Gently move baby’s legs in such a way, as if s/he paddling a bicycle. Do it at a steady pace. Leg bicycling is a great fun for your child and loosens up the intestines. Carry your newborn baby around in a squat position. Elevate his/her little legs in a way that s/he is squatting on your forearm like a bunny or frog. It will exert a little pressure on the kid’s rectum and help him/her to defecate. If you are a breast-feeding mom, eliminate dairy products from your diet. If your child is older than 4 months, mix 4 oz of breast or formula milk with 1 oz of prune juice. Give it twice a day.

Since your baby is just four months old, you cannot give him anything else, as in cannot even try home remedies as that would mean making the baby eat or drink something. But try applying asafoetida on her belly button. Mix little asafoetida in water and make a paste of it and then apply it on her belly button. It eases gastric in babies. If she is having discomfort show to the doctor, otherwise babies not pooping for 4 or 5 days is just normal at this stage. Since intestines are growing and developing at a faster pace so the bowel movements of the babies may get changed. Check with doctor if you can give gripe water to the baby. Make the baby lie on her stomach and you can also do light circular motion massage on her tummy.

hey mom, whenever your baby is in such discomfort and cries, please immediately speak to the doc. in the meanwhile, you can try moving your baby's leg in a cycling move, as it can help the motion to start.

Massage tummy. Do the cycling exercise before feed. That helps remove the trapped gas. And as long as he is peeing continuously there is nothing much to worry about. But do consult with doctor

You can try this out. Soak four to five dry grapes(kishmish) in quarter cup luke warm water for 2 hours. Then crush them, filter and give.

Hey if ur baby is in such discomfort please speak to the doctor and check how to proceed

thanks

Massage him/her tummy softly
