Patient's question:
My baby is 23 days old. Previously, they didn't have a bowel movement for 4 days, but after using infant glycerin suppositories, they had a lot of bowel movements. After that, they stopped having bowel movements again, and today is the fourth day. They often say nonsense. They have only been fed with formula milk twice. Otherwise, they are breastfed. What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition may still be symptoms caused by indigestion.Suggestions: It is recommended that you try massage therapy for your child. Have the child lie flat on their back. The massage therapist should place the right palm firmly against the abdominal muscles and gently push in the direction of right upper abdomen—left upper abdomen—right lower abdomen. Repeat this direction back and forth. The technique should not be too forceful, and each session should last about ten minutes. Perform the therapy 2 to 3 times a day. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
