POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. A 20-day-old baby crying a lot at night and having loose motions 3 to 4 times can be concerning. Frequent loose stools in newborns can sometimes be normal, especially if they are breastfeeding, as breast milk can cause softer stools. However, if the stools are watery, very frequent, or accompanied by signs like dehydration (few wet diapers, dry mouth), fever, or the baby seems very uncomfortable, it needs attention. Night crying could be due to hunger, colic, or discomfort from loose motions. Feeding every 2 hours is typical for newborns, but if your baby is unsettled despite feeding, it’s important to consult your pediatrician. They can check for infections, feeding issues, or other causes and suggest the right treatment to help your baby feel better.
