Patient's question:
My baby hasn't had a bowel movement for a day and a night. My baby is one and a half months old. What could be the reason? Previous treatment and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do you want: Is it okay whether there is something or not? Is it possible that the child is twisting the intestines?Doctor's answer:
Normal children can have varying bowel movements daily. Some may have many bowel movements a day, while others may have one every 3-5 days, as long as the stool has a certain amount, is not excessively dry or loose, and does not cause discomfort, it is considered normal. If the stool is dry, small in quantity, and difficult to pass, even if there are 2-3 bowel movements a day, the total amount may be less than a usual single movement, and this should also be considered constipation. It is recommended to adjust the baby's diet, ensuring adequate fluid intake. Infants need sufficient water, and children's diets should include more coarse grains, fiber-rich vegetables, and fruits. From infancy, it is important to train for regular bowel movements. Wishing the baby healthy growth!
