Doctor's answer:
(1) Every time it's hard to have a bowel movement, it's very difficult to go. Many times, I had to dig it out with my hands to get it out. The stool comes out in egg-sized pieces. The second time, there is relatively more after that. The next time, it's quite regular, but sometimes it doesn't go for one or two days after becoming dry. The baby has symptoms of constipation.(2) The constipation has lasted for over a month. If the baby needs to have a bowel movement, abdominal massage can be done before defecation. Start from the lower right abdomen and move upward to the lower edge of the right ribs, then horizontally from right to left to the lower edge of the left ribs, and finally upward to the lower left abdomen. This is the path of the stool within the body. If the massage can reduce the pressure during defecation and assist in bowel movement.
