Grunting/ straining sound PLEASE HELP!

Has anyone else’s little one made a sound similar to this and knows why they may be doing it? I took my daughter to the doctors as she had been doing it for a good few days and her mood had just completely changed she went from very happy go just really angry. Shes 15 weeks old we suspect maybe teething but not sure she has reflux and suffefz from constipation. She has infant gaviscon and lactulose. She had a cold last week and the doctor gave her antibiotics as he thought suspected throat infection as shes super dribbly, had slightly raised temp and breathing but not worrying. He also told us to increase her lactulose during the day time and to go back next week if no improvement. I feel like its more stomach a poo related as she had a massive poo today and has been happy since and no grunting sound i just don’t know what to do Ive already changed milk from kendamil to cow & gate i just want her to be happy again

My daughter is 4months and started making a similar sound to this about a week ago. She isn't angry whilst doing it, though sometimes seems frustrated. We thought it was perhaps teething. She can be playing quite happily on the floor and still make the sound. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Darienne do you think maybe because they want to do more but just cant do it yet?x

Maybe, my daughter is very determined to sit up and crawl at the moment, so could be x

My boy is 12 weeks and does something similar in the night. I believe it’s due to gas and reflux. We got some infant gaviscon a few days ago, I haven’t seen much improvement yet though not going to lie x

My baby does this, he’s 6 months old now and it’s usually when he’s over tired. Have you noticed if she does this before going to sleep? Xx

@Nadiah I did notice that she did it before she fell asleep this evening, thank you 😊 x

@Nadiah hmm sometimes yes and others like today she had been up for 40 minutes and just started doing it wasnt tired but did a massive poo then stopped and Friday she had slept quite a lot as we were out for the day and was doing it its difficult c

It’s so hard isn’t it! If she’s constipated have you tried massaging her belly with the “I love you method”? My baby was constipated when I changed my formula so it could be her just adjusting as their digestive system is still developing. But if you’re sure it’s a constipated grunt and nothing else is working you could try a little bit of prune juice x

@Nadiah thank you!xx
