Why does the baby not have a bowel movement for several days?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, the child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me why the baby hasn't had a bowel movement for several days?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the constipation is caused by the baby. Since the child's digestive system is not yet fully developed, it is very easy to experience constipation. Don't worry, you can try giving some honey water. Additionally, gently massage the baby's abdomen to help improve the condition. If the stool does not come out for a long time, you can use a suppository to spray into the baby's rectum to help with bowel movement. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
