My 8weeks old baby grins so hard to the point of crying at times to deficate because her poo is hard. We are on EBF, what can I do?

It's a normal phenomenon and don't mistake it for constipation too. Just the baby "feeling" movement of gas and stool which they perceive as discomfort....It's not a problem and no need for any treatment or remedy at this time" .It is a passing phase and as they get older, they stop crying.
