How to help newborn constipation

My 5 day old baby is constipated and I don’t know how to help, I know in the hospital they did a rectal temperature check to help get him unconstipated, I don’t have one here at home and don’t know what to do and it’s causing his stomach to be in pain.

you can use a qtip as well. put vaseline on it. don’t shove it. gently push it in.

@JaKeisa agree with this. Have had to do it on my little one. Works like a charm
