It is quite lumpy though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/straining-while-pooping#post-369577 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 11:40:48 +0000 BoogieBea 369577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter strains too but she suffers from constipation and though it's much better the last couple weeks she still doesn't like it and strains to poop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/straining-while-pooping#post-369509 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 11:14:17 +0000 mrbee 369509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is the poop sausage-shaped, but lumpy? Those can be very hard to pass... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/straining-while-pooping#post-369499 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 11:11:05 +0000 pinkcupcake 369499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My second poop question of the day...</p> <p>... does your LO strain when s/he poops? L strains SO HARD sometimes that I'm afraid she's gonna hurt herself! Her face turns bright red, she grunts super loud, and it just looks so uncomfortable. She doesn't cry or anything, though, so I don't think she's in pain (and like I said in my previous post, she poops quite frequently and it's not rock hard or anything). </p>
