When should I be concerned about my baby's constipation and seek medical attention?

I always tell my patients that early is better than later before the long term complications of constipation sets in. 1) During an episode of constipation, if the baby is showing discomfort like crying from tummy ache or is visibly straining and unable to poop and 2) if it has become a recurrent problem spanning over a couple of weeks and it is not improving despite your best efforts to give your baby fibre rich diet and adequate intake of fluids
