Straining while passing stools is very common and normal for a 20 day old baby. No need for medications.

Mother can start drinking more water and eat green vegetables.
Health Tips
Try and avoid formula as much as possible. Good rest and sleep for the mother will ensure adequate milk supply so that you don't have to use formula
