POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. It is common for 2-month-old babies to cry more at night, but excessive crying and not passing stool or gas for more than 12 hours could indicate discomfort. Here are some possible reasons and solutions:
Possible Reasons for Crying at Night: Gas or Colic – Babies often have gas issues, leading to discomfort and crying. Hunger – Some babies need frequent feeds at night. Overstimulation or Tiredness – If the baby is too tired, he may cry instead of sleeping. Diaper Discomfort – A wet or tight diaper can cause irritation. Reflux (Spit-Up Issue) – Acid reflux can make babies fussy, especially when lying down. What You Can Do:
✅ Burp After Every Feed – Helps prevent gas buildup.
✅ Give Tummy Massage & Leg Cycling – Gently massage the tummy in a circular motion and move his legs in a bicycle motion to release trapped gas.
✅ Try Swaddling or Rocking – This soothes babies and helps them feel secure.
✅ Use Gripe Water or Colic Drops – If colic is severe, consult the doctor for safe colic relief drops.
✅ Ensure Proper Latching – If breastfeeding, check if he is latching properly to avoid swallowing too much air.
Regarding Not Passing Stool for 12+ Hours: If he is exclusively breastfed, it is normal for some babies to poop once in 2-3 days. If he is formula-fed, constipation is more common, and you may need to adjust the formula or consult a doctor. When to See a Doctor?
⚠️ If crying is nonstop for more than 3 hours at a stretch.
⚠️ If the baby has a swollen belly, hard stools, or is vomiting.
⚠️ If there are signs of dehydration (less urine, dry lips).
