👶 CONSTIPATION IN NEWBORN BABIES
Understanding Gripes, Acidity & Stomach Discomfort
Many new parents get worried when their baby cries excessively, strains during passing stool, or seems uncomfortable after feeding. Let’s talk about it.
🔎 What is Constipation in Newborns?
Constipation is when a baby:
• Passes hard or dry stools
• Strains a lot while passing stool
• Has fewer bowel movements than usual
• Seems uncomfortable or cries during stooling
⚠️ Remember: Some babies may not pass stool every day — especially breastfed babies — and that can still be normal. The concern is hard stool and discomfort, not just frequency.

🤱 What Causes Constipation & Gripes?
• Immature digestive system
• Formula feeding changes
• Gas build-up (gripes)
• Feeding technique issues
• Mild stomach acidity
Newborns have delicate digestive systems, and minor discomfort is common in the first months of life.
