Hello there, this is totally normal. I just want to advise you not to panic and avoid get your baby investigated unnecessarily. Your baby is fine if your baby is taking feeds well, active, passing urine properly.
Regarding her cry while passing gas and stools is normal in infants.
You should improve your breastfeeding and latching technique.
DONT FEED WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING.
DONT FEED FOR MORE THAN 30 MINS. EMPTY ONE BREAST FIRST AND THEN USE OTHER BREAST.
DONT BOTTLE FEED. While bottle feeding lots of air is gulped.
Increase your burping time TO 15-20 MINS
can give colicaid drops for excess gases.
Still if you have confusion or any concerns you want to discuss , do consult online and get prescribed

The poop is grossly normal except for the fact that it looks like pooping with a lot of gas, which makes you worrisome . You should reassess your feeding technique. You should feed with one breast at a time for 20-25 mins followed by keeping the child upright for burping for 20 mins. Next feed should be after 1.5-2 hours post previous feed.
Next Steps
if it persists you should consult a pediatrician

The color and texture of stool u tried to describe and shown picture is a normal variant of stool .
Most common reason for the complaint could be
- **Infant Colic / Immature Gut**- Her intestines are still learning to move gas out. The muscles for intestinal(bowel) movements are not fully mature, so passing gas and stool requires significant effort and causes real discomfort. This is not a disease — it’s a developmental phase.
Secondly , **breastfeeding with too much foremilk**(watery, high-lactose milk) can cause gas and discomfort. Seedy yellow mucousy stools can be a sign of this sometimes.
- **Aerophagia** - infants of this age group usually gulp more air along feed while breastfeeding due to improper attachment onto breast(called as latch) ; its more common in bottle fed babies( due to air filled bottles and fastflow nipples)
Next Steps
- Feed from one breast fully before switching sides.(to prevent only foremilk feeding)
-burp frequently after feeds , skin to skin with upright after feeds,
- if bottle feeding, check the milkflow from nipple and prevent gas bubbles n air to be present in the nipple hub while feeding from bottle
Health Tips
- can try bicycle leg excercises
- if persiting gaseous stools with acidic blowy stools , then need to rule out cow milk protein allergy condition(CMPA)

Hi
This is quite normal in the babies of this age group
Crying during urination and during passing stools are normal
Main issue is feeding times
Feed babies adequately like 2nd hrly and in the night too
Give pats over the back after every feed
If u r giving other feeds other than breastmilk kindly avoid
As some artificial feeds contains lactose
And some babies will have mild lactose intolerance which will present as passing stools and abdominal distension
Next Steps
Proper feeding habits and to change artificial feeds
