Baby Cries In Pain When Pooping Even When Loose Stools

My baby cries in pain when she goes to the toilet for a soft or hard poo.

Why can that be?

Some other parents with same situation

Hi Katie!

Depending on how old your baby is, this could have to do with normal newborn straining, or some other reason. If she is older than 3 months, her intestines should be mature enough to prevent her from being in pain just from usual bowel movements (soft).

Some babies seem to be extra sensitive to hard poop, especially those that have been breastfed and then start with solid foods. The poop doesn't have to be particularly hard at all for some of the babies to cry. (I've had one baby like that.)

You may also read the following thread, where parents with similar situations share their situation:

I hope you soon finds out what is wrong! Don't hesitate to take your baby to a doctor to discuss the situation.
