Is it normal for the baby not to have a bowel movement for 4 days?

Patient's question:

Is it normal for a 6-month-old baby who is 20 days old to not have a bowel movement for 4 days? The stomach makes a dull sound when gently tapped with fingers!
Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.

Can a 1-month-old baby who is 20 days old use glycerin suppositories?

Doctor's answer:

The child's stomach making a rumbling sound is likely due to gas, which is related to constipation. The ultimate cause may be caused by a stomachache. It is recommended to take a few packets of Mepacol to reduce heat and regulate the intestines, and gently massage the baby's small stomach in a clockwise direction. You can also use a sufficient amount of glycerin suppositories.
