Hi Liana! Being 7 weeks old and breastfed, it is quite normal both to not have bowel movements every day, to pass lots of wind and to strain and be somewhat uncomfortable wihle trying to poop. What you could do (if possible), if possible is to take away the formula for a while, since that could be causing some extra pain and straining for him. <a href="http://www.easybabylife.com/baby-massage.html">Baby massage is also an excellent way to help babies suffering from pain trying to poop.</a> <a href="http://www.easybabylife.com/baby-book-tips.html">You can read my review of a good book about baby massage here.</a> Good luck! /Paula

My son is four months old and seems to not be able to pass a soft stool. He'll go like two days without pooping which is normal for him but then he screams and cries to the point where I have had to use a suppository to make him go. But he isn't constipated because his stool is loose and never hard or dry...why would this be?? He only goes when we use karo syrup twice a day in his bottle...it just doesn't make sense to me. He has been on formula since birth and is just recently having this problem...It's very concerning

Quite often babies get tummy aches when breastfed from what you are eatting....most common is dairy. There is a protein in cows milk that alot of people are intolerant too.....This protein is used in the manufacture of some forumlas. Look into that. I also would ditch the forumla at a night feed... any particular reason you are supplementing?

My son is 7 weeks old and he is bottle fed, up to 2 weeks ago he had no problem with his stool or passing gases. Then he had diarrhoea for few days and ped. gave him lactose free formula for 3 days and told me to go back to his usual formula after. The diarrhoea stopped but my son now has yellow sometimes green slimy poop from 5-8 times a day. Before diarrhoea he was pooping 2-4 times a day. Now he also has problem with trapped gases and he cries from pain until he manages to pass some gas. But I am concerned about slimy poop as I read that it can be do to virus or infection. Any help please?
