What should I do if the baby doesn't defecate for a long time?

Patient's question:

The baby is six months old and doesn't like to poop when eating milk. The longest record is eight days without a bowel movement, and I'm so worried. I give him a bath several times a day, but only find spherical yellow sticky balls. What should I do? I'm so anxious.

Doctor's answer:

Stable diet can be implemented through a child's diet. The formula can be slightly dissolved. Also, it's good to rub the child's abdomen frequently to promote gastrointestinal movement. For frequent constipation, probiotics can be taken to regulate intestinal flora, stabilize absorption function. It could also be indigestion, and medication can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Breastfeeding mothers should have a light diet and avoid extremely cold foods.
