Patient's question:
My child hasn't had a bowel movement for two days. Two days ago, when they did have a bowel movement, there was some fuss, but they eventually managed to go. The stool wasn't dry, but it wasn't particularly loose either. Over the past two days, they haven't had a bowel movement, and the child isn't crying or fussing. Their formula intake hasn't changed either. They haven't taken any medication. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The child had some crying during bowel movements for two days, but now has not had a bowel movement for two days. The last bowel movement was not particularly hard. The child has not been crying in the past two days, which should not be a major issue. Is the child's stomach bloated? Do you feel the baby's farts are smelly? Have you heard the baby's stomach gurgling? If there are no such symptoms, the child should be normal and there is no need to worry too much. Wishing the baby good health!This is the advice for the question "What should I do if a newborn doesn't have a bowel movement for two days?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you.
