Patient's question:
My baby is already 4 months and 10 days old, and I have been exclusively breastfeeding him. A few days ago, I gave him boiled egg yolk mixed with water to eat. At first, he loved it and could finish a quarter of the yolk. However, he started experiencing constipation (he used to have a bowel movement once a day or multiple times a day, but it became once a day around 4 months). So, I stopped giving him the egg yolk. After a few days, his bowel movements improved, but they were still not very regular. In the past few days, I started giving him the egg yolk again, but he seems less interested in eating it. Every time he eats, he gets fussy, and he hasn’t had a bowel movement for several days. He passes a lot of smelly gas, and it takes soap to get it out. Should I stop giving him the egg yolk? Can I give him some fragrantDoctor's answer:
The baby's digestive system has not yet fully developed, so it is very prone to constipation. It is recommended to take Mamia to regulate it, drink more water, massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction, and defecate regularly. You can add milk companion to the milk or water, 1 pack per day.2) For breastfed babies, mothers should adjust their dietary structure, eat lighter, and drink more water. If the baby does not defecate for several days, you can use infant suppository or soap stick. But do not use it for a long time.
