Patient's question:
My baby is about 5 months old. Since three months, there have been about 4 instances where she didn't poop for about 5 days. What's going on? The first three times, after the issue reappeared, she pooped and it was golden in color. She doesn't have abdominal pain, is in good spirits, eats well, and passes gas normally.Doctor's answer:
In this case, it may be due to the child experiencing many gastrointestinal issues again. You can carefully observe for a few days, give the child more water during the day, and provide light, easily digestible foods. Regarding the question "What should I do if my baby is around 5 months old and not pooping?" we will stop here for the answer. If the issue does not improve, please seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
