Patient's question:
The baby is 5 months old and being breastfed with complementary foods. Quail egg yolk and rice powder have been added for a few days, and everything has been normal until the last two days when there has been no bowel movement. Is this normal?Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What help is desired: Is this considered normal?
Doctor's answer:
According to your statement: newborns' gastrointestinal function has not yet fully developed. Some children may have bowel movements only once every few days (constipation), while others may have 3 to 6 bowel movements per day, or even more. Please carefully observe the characteristics of their bowel movements. As long as the characteristics are normal and there are no other discomforts, there is no need to worry too much. You can also give your child oral probiotics to aid digestion. The above advice is for the question "Is it normal for the baby not to have a bowel movement for these two days after starting solid food?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
