A child hasn't had a bowel movement for three days, what could be the reason?

Patient's question:

A child has only been born for three days, and the mother has not yet given the child breast milk. The child has eaten some formula milk and is drinking well, but after three days, the child has not had a bowel movement. What could be the reason?
Past treatment and effectiveness: Today, I went to the hospital in our county and was told it's nothing serious, just to wait and see.
What kind of help is desired: I am requesting the doctor to inform me of the reason.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you choose probiotics such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and try to avoid drinking Chang Run Cha as much as possible, because it contains aloe vera components rich in anthraquinones, which can disrupt good bowel habits. Establish a fixed time each day, whether or not you have the urge to defecate, to go to the toilet and squat. The purpose is to cultivate a bowel habit under light exposure. The above suggestions are for the question "Why hasn't the child had a bowel movement after drinking formula for three days?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
