Patient's question:
The baby is 26 days old. Usually, bowel movements are normal, but starting from the day before yesterday, the frequency of urination has increased. Yesterday, it was all urination, and today there were no bowel movements. Also, the baby has been crying more in the past two days and only falls asleep when held. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, it is recommended that parents pay close attention and observe carefully, provide proper care, and if breastfeeding, the mom should eat more vegetables. Monitor the child's temperature and ensure they get plenty of sunlight. Additionally, regarding the child's condition, it is suggested that while providing care, parents can also seek the help of a professional pediatric massage therapist to perform massages to promote bowel movements. The above advice is for the question "My baby is 26 days old and has started having abnormal bowel movements today. What should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
