Patient's question:
The baby is drinking formula milk. Between 1 and 2 months, they had a bowel movement once a day, sometimes every other day. But recently, they haven't had a bowel movement for three days. The doctor even used a glycerin suppository and said to wait and see. Now, it's been another two days with no bowel movement, and the baby is also drinking less formula milk. They've been crying a lot lately.What kind of help do I need: I hope you can tell me how to help the baby have regular bowel movements every day and prevent constipation.
Doctor's answer:
Constipation 1) Drink more water, you can add milk companion to milk or water, 1 pack per day. 2) For breastfed babies, pay attention to the adjustment of the mother's dietary structure, eat a bit lighter, and the mother should also drink more water. 3) Massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction, twice a day, for 5-10 minutes each time. 4) If not defecated for many days, you can use infant glycerin or soap sticks. But do not use them for a long time. 5) Eat more fruits and vegetables. The above suggestions are for the question "The baby has not urinated for 3 days after drinking milk powder," and hope it helps you. Wish you health!
