When my daughter was a baby, she did not go to the bathroom well.  She always had a hard time having a bowel movement.  She would cry and cry because it hurt her so bad.  I took her to a doctor a couple of times, and she said that when a baby is breast fed that there was no way that it could be constipated.  I was breast feeding my baby, but I knew that this doctor was wrong.  I talked to a friend who was also a nurse, and she had also experienced something similar with her baby who was also breast fed.  She suggested that I give my baby a glycerin suppository (they make them smaller for babies).  This worked like a charm. 

It was almost instant that when my baby was very sad, and when it seemed to be cause by constipation, that I would insert a glycerin suppository and bam, she had a bowel movement.  I was worried about doing this too often, because I didn’t want my baby to become addicted to needing help in order to have a bowel movement.  My daughter is now 11 years old, and there are no ill effects from the suppositories.  I don’t think that I hurt her by helping her earlier.  She seems to be just fine, and able to go to the bathroom normally
