This past weekend, I caught Mason struggling to "drop" his poop....he was squatting for a good minute, and was straining to poop, and finally gave up after trying

. He looked very upset, so I lifted his tail and examined his butt. I found a dry clump of poop that was stuck

- maybe like 1/5 inch hanging out. So, I tried to grab it to remove it out of the way.....I ended up making a mess!! it smeared all over his tail/butt and it was peweeeee

It didn't bother me too much, but obviously Mason was not a happy camper.
Has anyone experienced this with your baby? What is the proper solution to constipation??
