Is it normal for a newborn baby not to cry or fuss when they have bowel movements and urinate?

Patient's question:

Today is the tenth day since the baby was born, but something strange has been bothering me. My baby has been very quiet. I used to see on TV that newborn babies always cry uncontrollably when they urinate or defecate, but my baby is not like that. He never cries, whether it's during a bowel movement or urination, and remains very calm. This makes me a bit worried.
Seeking help: Hello, does a newborn baby always cry when they urinate or defecate?

Doctor's answer:

If the baby is eating well, sleeping well, and in good spirits, there is no need to worry. Newborns do not cry when they have normal bowel and bladder movements. They only cry after having a bowel movement or urination if an adult does not change the diaper or clothes promptly, making the baby uncomfortable. There is no need to be overly concerned—just pay close attention and observe the baby's condition regularly.
The above advice is for the question "Newborns do not cry when they have bowel and bladder movements." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
