difficulty passing stool!

One of my babies has a fece partially protruding out. I've already bathed him/her in a warm bath for several minutes, and part of it broke off. Should I continue to do this? if so, how often? Also, what else can I do to ease his/her discomfort?

Put a VERY small amount of mineral oil on his lips. You don't want him to get diarea either. He will lick it off. Should help to loosen things up.

Thank you! It came out, and s/he doesn't seem totally worse for the wear. (:
