Patient's question:
A 2-month-old baby hasn't had a bowel movement for 3 days. Previously, everything was normal. There were two days when I had a high fever and consumed formula milk, as I had been breastfeeding the baby before.Past treatment and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been administered yet.
Desired assistance: Seeking the fastest method to help the baby have a bowel movement.
Doctor's answer:
If a baby's bowel movement interval is less than 48 hours, it can be considered constipation. Generally, the following solutions can be adopted:For initial symptoms: Feeding some rice porridge can help alleviate this type of constipation. For breastfed babies with constipation, simply giving them some rice porridge daily is effective. A small amount of Job's tears (coix seed) boiled in water can also be used for feeding. Orange juice, red dates juice, and cabbage juice are also good choices.
Wishing the little one a speedy recovery and a healthy body and a wonderful life.
