Patient's question:
My child hasn't had a bowel movement for two days. Two days ago, there was some fuss during the bowel movement, but it ended with successful defecation. The stool wasn't dry, but it wasn't very loose either. In the past two days, there has been no bowel movement, and the child isn't crying or fussing. The frequency of formula feeding hasn't changed either. No medications have been taken. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The child was fussy during bowel movements for two days, but now hasn't had a bowel movement for two days. The last bowel movement wasn't particularly hard. The child hasn't cried in these two days, so it should not be a major issue. Is the child's stomach bloated? Do you feel the baby's gas is 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?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
