Straining, Noisiness and Passing Wind

My baby strains during bowel movements

Some breastfed babies have to push and strain to get their movements out, although the movement comes out soft. It is not certain why this happens. Various theories have been propounded in this regard. Some think that the soft stool of the baby does not exert enough pressure on the anus. Others theorize that the muscles of the anus may not be strong enough or coordinated enough to eliminate the stool easily. Some speculate that babies who lie down while passing stools get no help from gravity.
 

How can I help relieve the baby’s straining

This difficulty should ease up naturally when solids are added to the baby’s diet. In the meantime, you can try to help your baby by moving her legs in a bicycling motion when she is lying down to alleviate her discomfort. 
 

My baby’s bowel movements are very noisy

If your baby’s bowel movements come with a lot of force and are accompanied by a barrage of embarrassing noises, do not be concerned. This is the result of gas being forcefully expelled from the immature digestive system. In a month or two, your baby’s digestive system would have worked out the kinks and things should quieten down.
