How to treat a baby who has a bowel movement once every 5 days

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How can I treat the baby's bowel movement every five days?

Doctor's answer:

Multiple considerations may be related to constipation. If the child has not had a bowel movement for several days, it is recommended to use infant glycerin suppositories or soap strips, but do not use them long-term. Drink water appropriately for the child and perform clockwise abdominal massage for the baby. This can help improve constipation.
It is okay to eat, but it should not be eaten in excess. Each food has its own nutritional value. Except for some special foods, pregnant women should try to eat a variety of foods to ensure the baby's nutrition. Additionally, after three months, the baby will become more stable.
