Is it normal for a baby not to be able to pass a bowel movement?

Patient's question:

For two days, he hasn't had a bowel movement. Sometimes he goes to the town to defecate, but he just can't pass it. Is this normal? Treatment history and effectiveness: None. What help do you want: He just can't defecate.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the baby hasn't had a bowel movement for two days, and they want to but can't—it's not normal, it should be constipation. This is often caused by improper diet, accumulation of milk and food, internal dryness and heat, or weakness and illness after recovery. Insufficient sugar in milk can also make the stool dry. It is recommended to give the baby some probiotic medication, such as probiotics. These have no side effects and are just for regulating the intestinal flora. Give the baby more warm water to drink and use a clockwise hand movement to help push down their lower abdomen. This will be more helpful for the baby to have a timely bowel movement.
