Is it normal for the baby not to have a bowel movement for five months?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Is it normal for a baby not to have a bowel movement for five months?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your baby has one to two bowel movements a day or no bowel movements at all, as long as there is no abdominal distension, crying, or normal feeding, there is no need to worry. Make sure to give your baby more water. There are many causes of digestive diseases in children. If your child is diagnosed with a digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
