Why is my 6-month-old crying and not pooping?
Babies cry, yet your little one's night-long weeping seems extra troubling. At six months old, no pooping plus fussiness likely signals constipation. Not enough liquids or certain foods might cause this backup. Offering extra water or tenderly rubbing that tiny tummy could provide relief. However, if distress persists, consult a pediatrician.
