The baby is four days old and not defecating or urinating. What should I do?

Patient's question:

The baby has been born for four days now, drinking breast milk. They have only had two bowel movements of meconium, and since the third day, they haven't been urinating at all. What should I do? It's already the second day, and I'm very worried. Moreover, every time the baby sleeps soundly, their face becomes flushed red, as if they have constipation. I don't know what to do.

Doctor's answer:

Dear consultant, according to the situation you mentioned, it is not yet developed to the point of constipation. Please wait and see for one or two more days. This situation was like this a few days ago, and there is no need for too much concern. It's okay. Just breastfeed on time. The above is the advice for the question "Doctor, the baby has been born for four days," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
