A warm bath won't work like medicine for constipation, but the warmth can help relax the belly and anal area, making pooping a bit easier—the real benefit is the soothing warmth. The most effective methods are: bicycling his legs, gentle clockwise massage around his belly button, and making sure he's getting enough fluids throughout the day (if on solids, pear, prune, apricot purees also help). If constipation lasts 3-4 days, your baby cries while pooping, or there's blood in stool, talk to your pediatrician.
