Patient's question:
The baby is now three months old and hasn't had a bowel movement for three days. Since she was two months old, she has been having bowel movements every two to three days, or even every four days. What could be the reason for this? Is it okay like this?Doctor's answer:
Younger babies are prone to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis after illness due to the lack of specific symptoms and signs. A decrease in appetite and abnormal bowel movements in the baby indicate that they may be sick, not just experiencing indigestion.It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a check-up. If the doctor confirms that it is just indigestion, you can use Mamiaoi or Compound Pepsin for gastrointestinal regulation. Mamiaoi is a probiotic that can improve the intestinal microecology, while Compound Pepsin can increase the digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, both of which help with digestion and improve intestinal function. However, their functions are different, so they can be used together. If the baby has other illnesses, they need to be treated promptly.
