Doing a poo is really hurting her...

If you think you need to soften her stools, try vaalia yoghurt. It works a treat, especially when every other thing including coloxyl drops do not.

J does this too - he does have a tendency to strain and get a little constipated but also grunts and even cried when he does a poo that is soft... tbh i think the consistency isbeocming more 'normal' atm - and maybe it feels uncomf to them? i notive he cries, face goes red etc while he does it (and it was the same with DS1 at this age).
Cant hurt to give her more pears/prunes and fluids (i also use flaxseed oil) but it may als be a stage - it is a weird sensation to them whem they are aware they need to poo.
