Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Constant Flatulence In An Infant
I have a 1 month old granddaughter. She constantly tenses her body like she is pushing out a bowel but nothing comes out. This has been happening since she was born. She does fart a lot almost like an adult. Could this be a digestive problem? She is being breastfed and her mother does watch her diet carefully.
