What's wrong with a 6-month-old baby not having a bowel movement?

Patient's question:

A 6-month-old baby previously had two or three bowel movements daily, with slightly loose stools. Lately, they haven't had any bowel movements, though occasionally there's a little on their buttocks. Is this normal? Could there be a problem?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to assist you. Based on the situation you described, your baby is 6 months old and hasn't had a bowel movement in the recent few days, with occasional small amounts of stool in the diaper. This is preliminarily diagnosed as infant constipation. According to your description and medical history: The child is considered to have infant constipation. It is recommended to give the child oral probiotics and Baohe Granules. Pay attention to the child's diet to prevent colds and perform mild abdominal massage. The above suggestions are for this issue. I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
