Newborns often grunt due to immature digestion or gas. Gentle exercises, hing, and tummy time help. Gas is common until about 3 months.
⚠️ Caution:If baby has persistent crying for hours, fever, vomiting, blood in stool, or poor feeding, consult your pediatrician.
Parents worry grunting means pain or breathing issues. Moms say it’s often gas or normal newborn effort—comfort measures help, and it usually improves as digestion matures.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
Apply hing mixed with breastmilk and do cycling exercises.
Look for gas signs like arching back or pulling legs to chest.
Gas is common till about 3 months. Bicycle exercises and gentle tummy massage help a lot.
Hing roll-on around the navel worked well for us. Colic drops only after consulting the pediatrician.
