#asktheexpert my grand son aged about four months puts a lot of pressure while farting and doing potty and he puts his fingers in his mouth what is the reason for this?

A. straining while passing urine and stool is very normal before completion of 6 months of age. sometimes this can continue for one year of age also. it usually occurs due to the distention of the urinary bladder and rectum ofx the child. the sensation is new for the child that's why the child is crying if you feel that the crying is more than normal you should visit a pediatrician for examination.
