What is the situation when you strain a lot while having a bowel movement?

Patient's question:

Main symptoms: The baby is very young, but every time they have a bowel movement, there is a groaning sound coming from their mouth, and they seem to be using all their strength. Their face turns bright red. I feel very heartbroken seeing this. The stool is always runny, but the baby always looks like they are straining very hard and finding it difficult to pass it. Each time, not much is passed. What is wrong with the baby?
Onset time: More than half a month.
Medical examination results: No tests have been conducted.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: No treatment has been given.
What kind of assistance is needed: I hope you can tell me what is wrong with the baby and whether I need to take them to the hospital. Or, please just tell me what medicine to use.

Doctor's answer:

It may be due to the baby drinking formula milk causing stomach issues and constipation.
Recommendations:
- When mixing the formula, use a bit less milk and more water.
- The mother should also pay attention: avoid drinking cold water, drink more hot water and hot soup. Once the adult feels better, the child can be given more breast milk, which is better.
- Add a milk supplement, such as "Everyday Clear Fire Treasure," after changing the diaper. You can also use the milk supplement to mix water for drinking.
- The adult can also drink some honey.
- Give the baby more water, add a milk supplement like "Everyday Clear Fire Treasure," which is very good.
- The mother should also drink more water and green bean soup.
- Drink some water between the two diaper changes.
