Patient's question:
Starting from two months, the baby only has a bowel movement every six or seven days, or even every ten days. The stomach is not bloated, and the baby does not cry or fuss. Is this serious?Doctor's answer:
A five-month-old baby has been experiencing this since two months old, with bowel movements occurring only every six or seven days, sometimes even every ten days. However, there are no signs of discomfort, which may be due to constipation caused by poor digestion. It is recommended to consult a doctor for medication under their guidance, combined with digestive aids, drinking more hot water, and consuming a bit of honey water or bananas to help with bowel movements. It is also suggested to gently massage the baby's abdomen to improve absorption and digestion. Here's to the healthy growth of the little piglet!
