Patient's question:
On the third day after a cesarean birth, the newborn has not had a bowel movement or a wet diaper, with very little urine. They have been consuming more breast milk and were normal in the first two days. On the third day, they have been sleeping for a long time. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Check carefully if the baby's abdomen is bloated, and feel if it is soft. Have all the meconium been passed? It is recommended that parents keep the child's abdomen warm and check the baby's jaundice condition carefully to see if it has improved. The baby is nursing more but urinating less in proportion. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if a cesarean-section newborn has only had one bowel movement on the third day?" and hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
