Question
Why do newborns always cry before each urination and defecation, with their faces flushed red and bowel movements not normal? Is this a normal phenomenon?
Answer
The baby may have discomfort symptoms. You can tap on his stomach to see if it’s bloated. If the stomach sounds like a drum and the baby is not feeding well, and there are abnormal bowel movements, you can consider giving him some digestive medicine such as Mami Love or Chicken Gizzards Powder. At the same time, let the baby drink some water. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should also drink more water and consume easily digestible foods. In addition, pay attention to keeping the baby warm, especially around the umbilical area, and adopt a method of eating less but more often.
