Abdominal Massage

Take some warm coconut oil and massage your baby's lower abdomen with it. This helps to ease your baby's bowels and make pooping easier.

Warm Bath

Sometimes, a warm bath can be comforting to your baby's abdomen. Soak your baby in a warm bath to help him or her poop easily.

Vibrating Chair

Many rockers and prams have vibrators in them these days. Put your baby in the chair and start the vibrator. The vibrating motion may help your baby poop easily.

Rectal Temperature

Taking the rectal temperature of your baby with a thermometre can also be the stimulus needed for him or her to poop.

Glycerin Pellets

Roll solidified glycerin into pellets and insert one or two of these pellets into your baby's rectum. Glycerin melts quickly and makes your baby's poop softer.
