Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My baby is 4 months old and she has a poop in her right now that is too big. I ve scrunched her legs to her belly and used ky jelly to try and let it slide out. I ve put her in a warm bath and got just a little bit out but not enough. I ve rubbed her lower back and sides. I ve given her warm water to drink. The only thing I have at home is baby Tylenol and gas drops. Didnt thing those would help.. Should I take her to Dr?
I recommend using a rectal paraffin suppository if not already tried. It has to be pushed in the baby's anus. If the bay still doesn't pass tools or you are not confident about using the suppository, I recommend visiting a pediatrician.
Hope your baby feels better soon, thank you
