How to deal with constipation in a three-month-old baby

Patient's question:

Doctor! I have a question to consult you. My baby is three months old, and her weight is lighter than that of babies of the same age. She is being mixed-fed, with less breast milk and less formula compared to babies of the same age, and she is also growing very slowly in weight! Her spirits are quite good, but she only has a bowel movement every two or three days. What could be the reason for her small appetite?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it is likely caused by digestive issues, as poor digestion can also lead to constipation symptoms. For this situation, you can take probiotics or similar medications and carefully monitor the effects. In your daily diet, you can consume light and easily digestible foods, engage in appropriate outdoor exercise to boost your immunity, and also pay attention to indoor air hygiene. Open windows frequently to ensure good air circulation.
