Patient's question:
The baby is only a little over a month old and hasn't had a bowel movement for three days. Sometimes it seems like it wants to poop, but it can't. What kind of assistance is needed: Want to know the reason, how to treat it, and how to prevent it...Doctor's answer:
Is it formula-fed or breastfed? If it's formula-fed, is it because of diarrhea or constipation caused by the formula? If breastfeeding, the mother's diet should be appropriately light, avoiding high-fat foods, fried foods, and spicy foods. Additionally, offer the baby more water, about 30-50ml, between meals.Also, if the baby eats less, it may not have a bowel movement. It's recommended to observe the baby's deep sleep and alertness closely. If they are good, there's generally no major issue!
