Patient's question:

Baby is 6 months old and has just started complementary feeding for 3 days, having a bowel movement once a day, and breastfeeding normally. How should this be handled? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help is desired: Consultation and treatment

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, if the baby's stool is not constipation, it is normal stool, then there is no big problem. If the baby has no discomfort symptoms, there is no need to solve the situation with the above conditions. If the baby's stool is constipated, then at this time, it can be decided to drink some honey water to regulate. It is also necessary to drink more fruits during the day, and the mother should also have a light diet. If it is really difficult to defecate, then consider using children's suppositories for treatment.
