Patient's question:
For over two months, the baby was born normally and had normal bowel movements during the postpartum period. However, in the past month, he started having bowel movements every two to three days, then five to six days without any bowel movements. After helping him with a bowel movement, he again went five to six days without any bowel movements. What could be the reason? The baby hasn’t gained any weight in the past month. He is breastfed and eating well, drinking about five times a day, but not as much as before. His spirits are good. Every time he has a bowel movement, it is thin.Doctor's answer:
