How to solve the problem of a breastfed baby not having a bowel movement for 7 days

Patient's question:

A baby exclusively breastfed for 7 days without a bowel movement. Previous treatment and effectiveness: They started taking Calcium Xin oral liquid, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B12 on the 11th of this month and continued for a week until the 18th, then stopped the medication! The kind of assistance needed: A 4-month-old exclusively breastfed baby without a bowel movement for 7 days.

Doctor's answer:

Baby constipation can be relieved by adding milk companion to formula or water, with 1 pack per day. Control your baby's dietary routine and feed appropriately.
Advice: For breastfeeding babies, mothers should pay attention to adjusting their dietary structure, eating lighter, and drinking more water. Perform clockwise abdominal massage. For severe constipation that interferes with bowel movements, pediatric glycerin suppositories or soap sticks can be used to insert into the rectum. Be gentle and avoid long-term use.
