5 month old cries before and after urinating

by Herbert
(California)

My 5 months old baby wets at least 15 diapers a day. He cries before and after.

Any ideas why this might be happening?

UTI?
by: Baby Help Line - Paula

Hi,

I think you should have your baby checked for a urinary tract infection. Even if it is much more common that girls get UTIs, boys can get them too.

Another possiblity could of course be a diaper rash that is sore. But that wouldn't explain the many wet diapers.

So again, call his pediatrician.

Good luck,

Paula

Baby cries before urine
by: Rao (Malaysia)

My baby Anushka is 3 weeks old. She is having symptom of crying for about 10 seconds before urination. The symptom occurs once every 5 times of urination. Already did UTI scan and the result shows the organs are in good condition. Any idea of next step?

For your information, she wears napkins with nappy liner during day time and diapers during night time. She is taking Enfalac A+. When the napkin gets wet, immediately her mom changes her napkin after cleaning with wipes.

Thanking you in advance.

Probably no problem
by: Paula (Baby Help Line)

Hi Rao,

Congratulations on your little baby :-)

Very good that you have already had your baby examined for UTI. That would have been my first advice. If all organs are in good shape as you write, then it might actually be that your daughter finds the hot urine uncomfortable. A diaper rash will of course also make it worse. It is actually quite common that babies cry while urinating without any medical reasons.

How about if you let her be without diapers? Does she still cry?

If she seems healthy, gains weight and wets her diapers, then you can probably wait for a while and see it she stops crying while urinating. If she gets worse, the go see a doctor again.
