My son is 8 months old and just started grunting. He does this numerous times throughout the day, but does not usually have a bowel movement afterwards. We know he is not constipated because he poos 4-5 times per day, which sounds like A LOT considering he is on formula. He does eat a lot of solids- 4 oz of veggies, 8 oz of fruit and some protein w/ more veggies mixed in and rice cereal. What do you think all the grunting is from? Is he just having fun making noise? And is 4-5 bowel movements per day too much?

Sounds like he has just found something new that he can do....so he's doing it:) Seems like he may be trying to "talk" with you. If your truly worried about the poo issue, call your pediatrician. Sounds like a healthy boy to me:)

1 How old are you? How old were you when you started breaking out? I'm 18 now. I started breaking out when I was 16. Never really had much acne before then. 2 Is your skin always clear, do you get spots sometimes, or do you almost always have a breakout? I get pimples near my period. I usually get one of two somewhere around my mouth, and maybe the odd one around my forehead. They usually clear up once my period's done though. 3 What face wash do you use? Clean and Clear Morning Burst (the purifying one in the blue bottle). 4 Do you use face masks or scrubs or anything? What kind? I use St. Ives products for this. I use their clay firming mask at night (sometimes I skip it, but I try to do it quite a few nights a week). I also use their Apricot scrub once or twice a week. 5 What brand make up do you wear? What do you wear (foundation, concealor?, ect) Just drug store brands. I like Maybelline and Cover Girl products. I change the brand I use frequently because I'm looking for the best product for my skin (most of the best products I've used are Cover Girl). 6 How much makeup do you wear? Usually just concealer, foundation, and a bit of mascara. Sometimes some eyeshadow too. 7 What spot treatments do you use? Clean and Clear Persa-Gel 5. I put that on any pimples before I go to bed. 8 Do you eat junk food or healthy? I eat both healthy foods and junk food. Probably a bit too much junk food, but oh well. I also drink a lot of water. Water's a big help.

The grunting is probably for fun.
However 4-5 bowel movements is A LOT. I would be concerned that he isn't really digesting the food you are giving him.

If he is grunting occasionally but in no apparent distress, then it is probably that he has discovered a fun sound. My baby is almost 8 months and he loves to grunt. We call him our little "cavebaby." If your baby is sick however -- especially if he has a cold or recently had a cold, you should call your pediatrician, because it could be a sign of a respiratory problem.

I think that he just realized that he can do it on his own so it is a fun noise for him to make. My daughter (who is 5months) realizes she can scream so now she screams a lot but she has fun. I don't think the bowel movements are an issue at least he isn't constipated. My daughter goes sometimes 3 a day usually twice though.

He probably gets a response out of you when he does this. So that's why he does it. As long as he is making a bowel movement you should be fine.

i think it sounds like your son has just dicovered a new noise he can make. i have four kids and both of my sons have made this strange noise. my youngest is 11 months old and he still does it occasionally but not as much as he used to at seven/ eight months. many of my friends babies of a similar age do it too, don't worry.

Grunting noises may mean there is a respiratory issue. Call your pediatrician.

He's learning new things and enjoys his new found skill.
