My baby is three months old, but he only has a bowel movement every four or five days. What should I do?

Patient's question:

My baby is three months old, but he only has a bowel movement every four or five days. What should I do? Can he eat Mamiaai? Besides, he has been suffering from eczema on his face since birth. His health is good. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: none. What kind of interference do these have on the baby? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

I don't know if the baby is breastfed or formula-fed. Having a bowel movement every four or five days, although not normal, is absolutely not dangerous. Probiotics can be used. Advice: The frequency of bowel movements alone is absolutely not a problem. You can now offer some juice or a little apple, banana, or other fruits. Eczema itself is absolutely not harmful, but it indicates that the baby may have an allergic constitution. In the future, the baby might develop skin allergies, or cough frequently when they have a fever, but this is not certain. However, it is recommended not to introduce fish, shrimp, or other seafood to the baby too early.
