Patient's question:
The baby is almost six months old. Every time they have a bowel movement, it's very difficult. On good days, they go twice a day, but often it's only once a week. They have been taking probiotics and drinking water every day, and they are breastfed. However, their spirits are good, and they can eat, drink, and play. I don't know what the reason is and should do what.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, if the baby is feeding well, energetic, and has normal bowel movements, there is no need to address it. It could be that the baby is experiencing a "stomach accumulation," in which case you can appropriately offer some fruits and vegetables for the baby to eat. It is recommended that you take good care of the baby and provide fruit or vegetable purees, as well as encouraging the baby to drink more water, which can help with bowel movements. If the baby's bowel movements are not dry, it means the baby is absorbing well, and it is not a sign of illness.
