Question: my 1 month infant baby is crying heavily while passing urine. baby crying during urination is normal but she is holding her breath and crying very loudly. please help my baby
Brief Answer:
Could be normal or urinary tract infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi..I understand your concern.
As you said crying while passing urine is quite normal. But crying like this excessively, should definitely be evaluated.
I have a few questions and suggestions for you -
1. Is there any fever?
2. Is there any vomiting?
3. How is the baby's oral intake or feeding pattern?
4. Is there ay constipation or hard stools?
5. Is she crying every time while passing urine or only certain times?
6. How many time is she passing urine in 24 hours?
Suggestions -
1. Stop giving Colicaid - it is not the solution.
2. I suggest you get a urine analysis done at the nearest lab and get back to me - but I will exactly what to do after you get back tome with the answers to the above questions.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. Wish your kid good health.

Brief Answer:
Completely normal behavior and normal report
Detailed Answer:
Hi...please do not worry. This is completely normal urine analysis report and normal behavior of a baby of this age.
Sometimes babies of this age perceive the sensation of full bladder as a stimulus for cry and expression. This us the only way a baby if this age expresses.
You need not worry about the feeding pattern if she is urinating like you have mentioned in this frequency and if she is gaining weight well.
I wish your kid a bright future. Please feel free to approach me through this website if there is anything else. You can approach me by asking a direct query directed to me alone too.
