How to solve the problem of a one-month-old baby not defecating

Patient's question:

Normal diet, no crying, just 5 days without defecation for 5 days. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Used glycerin suppositories. What kind of help was it: How should it be treated

Doctor's answer:

The baby might be a bit constipated.
: For babies with regular bowel movements, not having a bowel movement for more than two days can indicate a possibility of constipation.
The main reasons that can lead to infant constipation are: insufficient milk intake, resulting in less stool output, and fewer residues being produced after absorption, naturally leading to a lack of bowel movements.
Milk-based foods are high in protein and low in carbohydrates and fiber, which can also easily cause constipation. This is more common in babies fed with formula.
