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

Patient's question:

The baby is almost two months old and hasn't had a bowel movement for five consecutive days. Urination is normal, and feeding is also normal. The baby doesn't cry much and seems to be in good spirits. What could be the reason for not having a bowel movement? What should be done?
Medical history and treatment outcomes: None
Desired help: What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, it is generally considered that the child has a weak spleen and stomach, and gastrointestinal dysfunction leading to poor digestion. It is recommended that the baby can take medications such as Compound Pancreatin Powder, Jianpi Granules, and Xingspi Yang'er Granules to regulate the gastrointestinal tract. Alternatively, you can take Children's Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian to digest and eliminate food stagnation. In daily life, you can feed the baby in very small amounts, eat some warm and easily digestible foods, pay attention to keeping warm, and can apply cold compresses to the navel area. Closely monitor the situation.
