gastrocolic reflex is very normal in children.
in this phenomena the child is having semi solid to solid stool after every episode of of food / milk intake.
if the growth / weight gain of the child is proper there is no need to worry about this phenomena.
usually this phenomena decreases with increasing age of the child .
if the child is crying at this age it can be due to either teething pain or it might be a part of colic pain due to some digestion problem or it might be due to nasal blockage or some body pain which might be initiation of a viral fever also.
also look for fever, oral ulcer, insect bite or skinrash and allergy.r
you have to treat according to the findings so better to visit a doctor.
