my 3-month old daughter does the same. It's heartbreaking sometimes to see her strain so hard yet me watching over her helplessly. it also made her restless and couldnt sleep well. usually happens in the early mornings. anyone knows why? i assume i must be doing something wrong since i'm breastfeeding.

My baby is 15 days old and makes the grunting sound when emptying her bowel, but the thing is it happens only when she is asleep the Doctor says that there is nothing to worry about but the noises goes on and on and I have to stay awake most of the night worring over her.

My baby is 3 months old and hardly ever passes. I am breastfeeding and supplementing with iron fortified formula. I usually have to give my baby a suppository every 4 days on doctor's advice. The doctor does not seem to be alarmed either. I am frantic that my baby does not pass like a regular baby.

my baby goes through all that's mentioned in the article but the strainings prolongs for hours and hours. that really worries me. all day long she is straining making grunting sound and because of this she cannot sleep or feed well. i want her 2 sleep well to put on weight as she is a premature baby and was underweight when born. please suggest!

A baby's digestive system is not very well developed. So no doubt, she is going to have trouble passing stools as well.

My daughter does exactly what this article is about! I was so worried that she had something abnormally wrong with her...in regards to the gravity thing, I hold her face out with my arm around her tummy and that is how she relieves herself. Another way I have found helpful is making her sit hunched over on my lap.

In regards to this article, my daughter does this, too! What I have found helpful is holding her face out with my arm around her belly...or having her sit hunched over on my lap...these are great ways for babies to relieve themselves.

My son has a standard system of bowel movement. After every feed, I burp him & let him sleep. After he wakes up he relieves himself compeltly. And yes, there is the sound accompanied most of the time. I think it is when I have been hungry for a long time & then fed him. The gas is from my breastfeed, I think. But, he doesnot cry everytime. But he growns and makes small noises. This alerts me and I change him immediatley. But, he is so impatient for his next feed, that he starts crying usually half way through his nappy change !

It's quite common for children especially younger babies to lift their legs high up in the air, or pull their legs up tight to their chests while soiling their diapers. My children have all done this and even though they aren't at all straining to pass a bowel movement, it's simply a natural comfortable way for baby to go to the bathroom.

My baby had suffered from Diarrhoea when he began teething. I was really worried, but it usually happens when the baby begins teething. Its important to consult the doctor immediately.
