13 month old really bloated

We’ve all just had norovirus so we’ve not been well. My little one is fine now apart from a really bloated belly which seems to be causing him some pain. Is there anything I can give him to help? Would infacol or gripe water help? It seems to just be gas as he’s had plenty of dirty nappies

Crying when pooing

In the last week, when my son does a poo he starts getting upset (loud crying). He can be settled quickly once he’s finished. He’s on 3 meals a day and he has gone up to 3 days without a bowel movement but lately he’s been going regularly but still crying. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any advice? Thanks mamas x
