Question

My baby, at 24 days old, always strains and cries before urination. As a parent, I’m worried. I want to know if this is normal and if any measures need to be taken.

Answer

Experts suggest that it is normal for babies to strain and cry before urination as they learn to control their bladders. There is usually no need to worry. Parents are advised to let the baby drink more water and observe for any other unusual symptoms. In most cases, this is just a normal part of the baby’s growth and does not require special treatment. Wishing the baby a healthy growth!
