Patient's question:
The baby is 6 months old and hasn't had a bowel movement. Previously, he had some diarrhea and was given a little Montmorillonite powder. Is there a problem?Doctor's answer:
For babies in this situation, it is important to drink more water. You can add a milk supplement to formula or water, with one package per day. For breastfed babies, mothers should pay attention to adjusting their dietary structure, eating lighter, and drinking more water. Gently massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction twice a day, for 5-10 minutes each time. If the baby has not had a bowel movement for several days, you can use a soap stick, but do not use it for a long time. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
