Brief Answer:
It can be due to following reasons
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I understand your concerns but don't worry. It can be normal for babies to cry while passing poops. But at the same time the other pathological reasons can be constipation, anal fissure or hemorrhoids.
If your baby has normal consistency of poops, then a proper examination to rule out fissures and hemorrhoids will be useful. They are also associated with sentinal tag and blood in poops. If it's normal on examination, then there is nothing to worry and no treatment is needed. The crying will gradually improve.
Hopefully this will be of help. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care

Thanks. What about big stomach
Brief Answer:
Big stomach can be due to weak abdominal muscles
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Big stomach is most commonly due to weak abdominal muscles, so ensure a diet rich in proteins. You may give pulses, soybeans, broccoli, eggs and meat for this.
Also, rule out any liver or spleen enlargement or any other lump by clinical examination. You can visit a pediatrician for proper clinical examination.
