Patient's question:
A one-month-old baby mixed feeding, at its peak, can go 4 or 5 days without having a bowel movement, but each time they do, it's not dry, it's a paste-like consistency. What should I do? Also, recently the stool has been a bit green, not as yellow as usual. What could be the problem?Past treatment history and effectiveness: I have used glycerin suppositories, which were quite effective, but I can't keep using them. What kind of help would you like: How can I get a normal bowel movement?
Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:This situation, it's considered to be caused by indigestion, accumulation of food, or dysbiosis of the flora...
I suggest for this situation, it's necessary to give the baby more water, especially about an hour after feeding. Additionally, make clockwise abdominal massages around the baby's navel to promote intestinal peristalsis. Boil some carrot water for the baby to drink, or you can also try giving them some children's Star Tea. Additionally, eating probiotic preparations, such as probiotics, is quite good. It is very helpful for regulating the baby's intestinal health.
