Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. 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 of 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.
Stool pattern of small children changes from time to time.
It can be more than 7 times per day also and sometimes the child will not pass stool for 10 days also.
The most important thing is the consistency of the stool and if it is Semi solid to solid or semi dliquid then there is no need to worry about the frequency as well as colour as well as the smell of the stool
Also strainidng and crying while passing urine and stool is very normal.
the crying of the child is due to colic pain and not due to constipation
