Babies have different bowel schedules depending on how they are fed. Breastfed babies begin with irregular bowel movements, usually very mild. Bottle fed babies will have less frequent defecation, but may have more difficulty defecating due to the increased iron content and slower digestion of milk. This memorandum does. help Understand more about the child’s bowel movements and what you must do if you find that stool is stuck in the anal channel. Here’s a tip. to help Your baby poops more easily and how you can prevent it.
How do you recognize if shit is stuck in the anus?
At first it can be aristocratic that the baby has stool that blocks the anus because the intestinal tract cannot move for several days. The infant has the opportunity to get stool that is very difficult to pass and has the chance to become purple in character due to the strain. When the diaper is removed, you will also notice that the stool will partially come out.
If the baby “touches” the stool in the rectum or anus, this can lead to watery stool stains on the diaper. This occurs when a fairly large obstruction occurs in the lower part of the intestinal tract. This is known as encoplosis.

If water is not replaced after vomiting or diarrhea, the baby’s stool may freeze violently and become trapped in the rectum.
