Patient's question:
The baby often doesn't have a bowel movement every three or five days. Sometimes, they have a bowel movement every day, but then can't go again after two days. It feels very painful. The stomach is always bloated with gas. Rubbing and cold compresses don't help. When the baby went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, the doctor said there was nothing wrong and prescribed probiotics. But after taking the probiotics, the baby still couldn't have a bowel movement. What is going on here!Doctor's answer:
According to what you mentioned, babies usually have a bowel movement once or twice a day, which is basically normal. Based on your description, the baby may have difficulty defecating and sometimes cannot have a bowel movement for two days. As the baby's digestive function gradually recovers, it will improve. Generally, there is no problem. The above is advice for the question "What should I do if my baby rarely has a bowel movement every few days?" I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
