What should I do if the baby hasn't had a bowel movement for two days?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. What should I do if the baby hasn't had a bowel movement for two days?

Doctor's answer:

General treatment methods for constipation include:
1) Drink more water, and make sure to drink more water. You can add a milk companion to the milk or water, with 1 pack per day.
2) For breastfed babies, mothers should adjust their dietary structure, eat lighter, and drink more water.
3) Perform clockwise abdominal massage for the baby, twice a day, for 5–10 minutes each time.
4) If the baby does not defecate for multiple days, you can use infant glycerin suppositories or soap sticks. However, do not use them for a long time.
5) Eat more fruits and vegetables.
