Patient's question:
My baby just celebrated her full moon a couple of days ago, but since yesterday, she hasn't had a bowel movement. She only urinates. What could be the reason for this? Also, she sleeps a lot during the day but cries non-stop at night. She cries when she eats and then spits up milk. Since last night, she has been crying multiple times in the middle of the night. What's going on? Please help the doctors. Tomorrow, I plan to take her to the hospital for a check-up. I want to know if there can be a detailed explanation for the two points I mentioned above.Doctor's answer:
The baby's symptoms should be due to some indigestion causing abdominal pain, fewer bowel movements, and discomfort in the stomach, which makes the baby constantly cry. It is recommended that the mother gives the baby more water, eats less and more frequently, and takes medication to help regulate the digestive system, such as probiotics. Breastfeeding mothers should also consider adjusting their diet structure, avoiding raw and cold, greasy, or irritating foods. Eat more vegetables rich in dietary fiber. Pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm in daily life.
