Is it OK to steal this thread just a little?

MY DD has just recently started going through the same thing as your DS....poo frequency is less.... BUT

When she needs to do one, she is in pain....poor little thing just wants to get it out....she is a squirmy wormy, cries (LOTS) mostly during the night when I want to sleep! Then when the poosplosion hits, she is happy as a pig in *well you know *

Anyone have any tips to help soothe the little tummy of a bunged up baby? I feel awful I can't help her. I pat and rub and soothe to the best of my ability!
