Patient's question:
A little more, when I was in the postpartum period, I had to defecate several times a day (breastfeeding). Later, due to jaundice, I ate one day of formula (Mead Johnson), and then my bowel movements started to have particles and were a bit dry. In the morning three days ago, I had a bowel movement, but it hasn't happened since. The baby doesn't seem uncomfortable, and he's eating well. After eating formula for one day, I've gone back to breastfeeding, but he still isn't defecating!Doctor's answer:
According to what you provided, you had a bowel movement three days ago in the morning, and it hasn't happened since then. It doesn't seem like the baby is uncomfortable, and they are eating quite well. It is likely that constipation is caused by indigestion. It is recommended to first take some digestive aid medication, such as Compound B liquid, Huaji, or Jianpi San. Drink plenty of warm water, and you can gently massage the baby's abdomen to improve digestion and bowel movements. If necessary, use infant glycerin suppositories to relieve constipation. Wishing your child healthy growth.
