I'm having trouble inserting a suppository on my 'recipient' because he keeps clenching his cheeks.
is there any way to get him to stop or loosen up? i already tried to ask him to relax

didn't your pediatrician show you how to do it successfully??
if not, then call and ask. the nurse will guide you through it. there are different positions, and some work better than others.
if all else fails, there's other methods besides suppositories...

Step One: Insert the suppository. Some suppositories lubricate (moisten) the rectum to help the stool come out easier. Other types soften the stool and also stimulate the bowel to have a BM. Caregivers will help you decide if you need a suppository, and which kind to use. Insert a suppository lubricated with a clear jelly-like lotion after removing any stool that is in the way. Put in the supository. Using the finger of one gloved hand, or a suppository inserter, place it as high into the rectum as possible. The suppository should rest against the side of the rectum, not in the middle of stool. Slowly take your finger or the suppository inserter out, making sure that the suppository does not come out.

the easiest way is to do it while hes asleep because when hes expecting it the natural instinct is to clench, this is due to fear which is understandable,i wouldnt like someone trying to put something up my behind either

coat it with vaseline or butter and your finger as well and then shove it.
