My 7 week old son seems to have a rough time when he poops! He clenches
his fist, turns red in the face, makes assorted straining noises, and
cries. Poor little guy! This goes on for maybe 3 or 4 minutes, then he
seems OK, and we know to change him. He normally poops twice per day. Is
this normal? We're going to discuss it with the pediatrician this week.

-Thanks

Gee, I strain and stuff when I poop, too.

This sounds normal, but check with you doc.
