Patient's question:
After a week, he only has a bowel movement once; now he eats very little milk; weight gain has also decreased compared to before; what's going on? Past treatment history and effectiveness: No specific help desired: Wants the child to eat more milk; gain weightDoctor's answer:
The baby hasn't had a bowel movement for several days, which might be because the baby simply isn't eating enough. So, the first thing you need to ensure is that the baby is well-fed every day. You should also check whether the stool the baby is passing is soft or hard.Massage the baby's abdomen daily by using your three middle fingers to make clockwise circles around the navel. Do this for 5 minutes each time, once in the morning and once in the evening. This can help slow down the baby's intestinal movement and promote bowel movements.
Pay attention to giving the baby more water—boiled water is the best laxative for infants.
