Patient's question:
Appetite deep sleep is basically normal. After the previous week from the mother, formula feeding was started. Three bowel movements of meconium have been passed. Recently, the baby has finally started to accept breast milk, but has not had a bowel movement for six days. We are very concerned.What kind of assistance is needed: Hello doctor, what should be done in this situation? What is needed...
Doctor's answer:
Babies and young children are generally normal to have one bowel movement per day. In your case, the main consideration is that the child was used to drinking formula milk right after birth, and their digestive system has already adapted to it. However, switching to breastfeeding suddenly means their digestive function hasn't adjusted yet, which can easily lead to digestive issues.You should take your child to a pediatrician for a check-up to see if there are any signs of indigestion.
