In particular, many questions arise if the child constantly grunts, and mothers can not understand in any way whether to sound an alarm or continue to watch the baby. We will try to dispel the fog over this mystery and reassure inexperienced parents.
Why does a newborn child grunt and tug?
Having appeared in the world, the child experiences new feelings, unknown to him until today - the digestive tract begins to work in him, in which up to this point no food has come, the amniotic fluid does not count.
The constant process of digestion of mother's milk ends in a bowel movement. During the meal, the baby willfully captures and swallows a certain amount of air that accumulates in the intestines, causing painful spasms.
The error in the mother's nutrition, that is, the use of products that cause fermentation, also leads to this problem. But not always on painful spasms the kid reacts with crying. It happens that the child intensively groans in both sleep and wake, trying to get rid of the accumulated gases.
For the same reason, he is pushing. Despite the fact that the baby eats a lot and has a sufficient amount of food, often it can not self-poke, because the muscles that promote defecation are still weak and not used to this new function for them.
Therefore, groaning of the child, most often, is associated with digestive problems. Especially this behavior concerns children who suffer from constipation. As soon as the baby has emptied the intestines, he stops grunting uneasily and again has a good mood.

The groaning of children is still associated with an uncomfortable position of the body, or if the baby can not fall asleep. An uneasy temperature and humidity of the air is caused by overheating, uncomfortable clothing and a dirty or wet diaper.
If the kid is cheerful, he does not have a disorder of stool and temperature, then this phenomenon is quite normal. By the half-year, most children outgrow this condition.
