my baby strains, stiffens and groans :(

[TinaR]

Hi, My little man is 8mths old now and for a little bit now he has stiffened his whole body and tenses and groans. Has anyone else come across this? do you know what causes it? i have a doctors appt in a couple of days but it just seems really bad at the moment and not sure if i should take him to hospital to get seen quicker?
Any advice please!

thanks everyone, before I got your replies I went to my little local hospital and had him seen straight away. It turns out I am up for mummy of the year award
He has a sore bowel due to being given weetbix for breakky. No constipation or anything, just a sore belly from trying to process the high fibre content. so a diet change should have him good as new within a day or so.

Thanks for the replies! I just <3 this site and the ppl in it for thier help with everything

Oh poor darling, weetbix is nasty for tiny tummies, it should be labelled 12mths+. I hope he is feeling better tomorrow. Don't be to hard on yourself, being a mummy is a minefield.

He is just great now, thanks! No more weetbix, he has the multigrain (6m+) farex cereal or a piece of white bread/toast. it has pretty much completely stopped. Its amazing to learn of all the little things that can cause them upsets!
