I think a specialist could tell you if it's a fissure. I wonder if it's worth trying to fight for a referral to a specialist (not sure how awesome your GP is) as they can then get bubs an ultrasound (to check bowels) and also investigate other possible issues.

Good luck!

not sure IssacsMum. Our GP never did any checks as such, just said it sounded like a fissure and then we treated it like one.

I'm sure they can find out for certain, just not sure how..

I was wondering about a fissure as well. I got them after my DS birth and honestly it was like pooping a razor blade, even if it wasn't that hard.

My dd cryed for months when doing #2's, was heartbreaking so I know how it feels!

In the end our GP thought she may have gotten a fissure from a bout of diarrehea initially and then because it hurt she started trying to hold it in.

we tried all the prunes, pears, tried to get water into her but none of it worked. In the end we used Lactulouse. #2's had to be VERY loose for a long time in order for it to heal.

She was on lactulouse for about 2 months which worked fantastically and eventually we weaned her off that and used kiwi crush which was awesome for keeping her regular and soft. Mind you she was almost 9 months and drinking from a sippy cup when we used that, so might be too early for your little one.

You can get lactulouse from the chemist (but is costs around $15) Your Dr can prescribe it so you get it for free.

Would definitely reccomend going to the Drs. Its heartbreaking to listen to them cry when there is nothing you can do and they don't understand.

Hope he gets better soon.

hmmm our specialist said that when they start of solids they should poo every day, but i think we are meant to as well and every baby is different. i wonder if it is either something he is eating or something goin on in the bowel? have you tried other things to help him poo, like apricots are a great help, and kiwifruit (if you get the ones int he jar mixed with apples or pear that watties do a real good, cuz i think the kiwifruit seeds an issue when they are 5months old). also bananas are supposed to be constipating, and pasta. GL< doesnt sound nice. E has a few times she has had bad poo days like that, but not all the time.

Has it just been since he's been on solids? Could be a food intolerance?

Could his bowel be twisted or something that causes pain when he poos?? Sorry thats my only thought. I definitely be inclined to take him to the docs and get it checked and push for a referral if they muck you around.

Poor little guy and poor mummy

my 5mth old cries when he poos. i mean big screaming cries and tears and very upset.
the poos aren't hard solid - i mean they are well formed but squishy, he only poos about once every 3 to 4 days.
he's BF & on solids 2xday. i often give him prunes mixed in with his fruit. and i stay away from rice/potatoes.
he also farts up a storm on a regular basis, but the thing that upsets/worries me is the poos. he's so super upset by them.

it's not constipation, because the poos are squishy but what could it be?

anyone else have this with their baby?
