A member asked:

My baby cry and scream to poop and fart?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Ferguson answered

Some do. It is a way they generate extra power to push. Baby belly muscles are weak at birth and strengthen over the first several months. By itself, the behavior is not worrisome.
