Patient's question:
My baby is four months old. Recently, she hasn't been pooping much. Previously, she would have a bowel movement every 3-4 days. I've also used glycerin suppositories, but when she does poop, it's not a lot and not dry—it's yellow and mushy. This time, it's been 7 days with no movement at all. The baby is still eating normally and not crying, but I want to know what's going on. Urgent.Doctor's answer:
If the child experiences this situation again, it may be due to improper feeding. At four months, you can give the child some juice or water to drink as their regular hydration, but avoid commercially packaged ones—opt for homemade ones. Laxatives are not good for the child's body; drinking fruit and vegetable juices can be beneficial for bowel movement.Hello, if a two-month-old child has constipation, it may be caused by an imbalance in the gastrointestinal flora. It is recommended to give the child medications that regulate the gastrointestinal flora, such as Mamei. The mother's diet should also be light, with more fresh vegetables and fruits.
The above suggestions are for the question "What causes little bowel movements in babies?" I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
