Hello.
You have to first ascertain whether the baby is crying because he does not want to sit on the potty, or he is crying while actually passing stool, whether it be on a potty or in his diaper.
The good thing is that you have already started giving him a high-fiber diet and fluids, which should be given to the baby even normally.
Also keep track of the frequency of passing stools and consistency. It is best to get it checked by meeting your pediatrician, as he can do a local examination to rule out any organic cause or guide you further if this is just a behavioral issue.

Hello
Kindly consult paediatrician as direct examination of anal area is necessary if there is any fissure or redness in that area. For now you can use creams that contain zinc oxide or if you already have a rash cream that would also be helpful if there is any redness in that area.
Ensure proper hydration and continue fibre rich diet.

Greetings
crying during bowel movements for 20 days and avoiding the potty seat, despite stools appearing soft.Even with soft stools, this painful defecation could be caused by an unhealed anal fissure (a small tear in the lining), hidden constipation where hard stool remains trapped further up in the bowel while liquid or soft stool leaks around it, or an localized skin irritation or allergy around the anus.You can manage this initially by continuing the fiber-rich papaya and bottle gourd, increasing daily water intake, and giving a warm sitz bath for 10 minutes before potty time to relax the muscles. Please double-check your child's physical symptoms and check around the anus for visible cracks, redness, or streaks of blood.
Next Steps
kindly consult doctor
