It is common for babies to cry before having a bowel movement due to the sensation of not being able to control their anal sphincter. This lack of control typically lasts for the first two years of a child's life. It is important to observe if certain foods worsen this issue. Additionally, using products like relaxa may not be helpful and could potentially irritate the baby's skin. It is recommended to wait a couple of weeks to see if the crying decreases in intensity.
