Why does a baby cry before pooping?

Why does the baby cry before pooping? This is a very anxious question for a new mother. If the baby cries before defecation, mothers must find out the reason, because babies cannot speak. If they feel any discomfort in their body, they will express it through crying. Therefore, whether the crying of a newborn is normal or abnormal, new mothers must be careful enough to distinguish it, so as not to bring greater impact to the baby. Let's look at the following mothers' problems and solutions:

A mother said, "My baby has been born for 25 days and has been exclusively breastfed since birth. It was normal some time ago, but in recent days, there is always a period of time every day when the baby cries after feeding, and the crying time is more than 2 hours. During this period, the baby also urinates several times, so he cries for a while and urinates for a while, and finally stops crying when he poops.

At the beginning, I thought the baby was crying because he was not full, so I fed him when he cried. However, the baby spit out the nipple after two bites, but wanted to eat again after a while. I was really afraid that he would eat too much. Later, I found that I didn’t feed him and he would sleep well as long as he had a full bowel movement. Last night was even more heartbreaking. The baby kept making noises for three hours before falling asleep. It was so frustrating. What happened? Is the baby constipated? Or does the baby have a stomachache? Also, the baby's stool is golden yellow with curds. What should I do in this situation of my baby?

In fact, through the above mother’s introduction, we can rule out the possibility that the child is suffering from an illness and consider that the child may have some indigestion. So the most direct way is that when the baby is crying, the mother puts her hand on the baby's belly and rubs the baby's belly in a clockwise direction. This will relieve your baby's discomfort. At the same time, mothers should pay attention to not making the house too stuffy and ensure proper ventilation.

The most important thing is that if the child is exclusively breastfed, the mother's diet must be light and nutritious, and try to eat less greasy food or drink less oily soup. If the mother eats too greasy food, the child will suffer from indigestion after drinking the mother's milk. If the child keeps crying and the condition does not improve, you can consider taking some Chinese medicine, such as "Mummy Love", "Hou Zao San", or "Baoyingdan" health products.

It is also important to remind you that, from the description, the baby’s problem is obviously gastrointestinal indigestion. Therefore, mothers must carefully distinguish the crying of their newborns. Each type of crying represents a different intention, and can only be expressed through crying. Therefore, mothers must learn to observe, and must not simply assume that a child’s crying means he is hungry. The crying sound can represent many meanings. There is a good chance your child is telling you that “I’m not feeling well.”

When a newborn is normal, it will sleep all the time except eating. After waking up, it will play for a while. Sometimes it will cry for a few times when it is hungry, but will be quiet after feeding. If the baby has difficulty defecating due to indigestion and is crying incessantly, you can also use fresh kiwi fruit to mix it with water and give the baby some to drink, so as to promote smooth bowel movements. Another very important point is to never let the child's stomach get cold, especially the belly button where there is blood clots. It must be well taken care of and disinfected frequently.

I hope the above introduction can help new mothers as to why babies cry before pooping. I also want to remind you that babies are weak, so mothers should not rush to the hospital just because of their crying. Sometimes you need to know the reason why they are crying. Therefore, if the baby is in good spirits and there is nothing abnormal, it is better not to go to the hospital often to avoid contracting other diseases, which will be more troublesome.
