How to treat a 3-month-old baby who hasn't had a bowel movement for 15 days

Patient's question:

March 1st

Doctor's answer:

Suggestion 1) Drink more water, make sure to drink more water. You can add a milk companion to the formula or water, one pack per day. Do not eat calcium together with formula and breast milk; they should be spaced out by 2 hours, otherwise it may also lead to constipation.
2) For babies who are breastfed, mothers should adjust their dietary structure, eat a bit lighter, and drink more water as well.
3) Massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction, twice a day, for 5–10 minutes each time.
4) If the baby has not defecated for several days, you can use infant glycerin suppositories or soap sticks. However, be a bit gentler with the movements.
