What's wrong with only having a bowel movement every 3 months?

Patient's question:

For a while now, I've been experiencing this issue with urination. Regarding the treatment and effectiveness of breastfeeding: I have used suppositories. What kind of assistance would you like: I want to know what vegetables an 8-month-old baby should eat to assist with this.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, babies can start on solid food at around 6 months old. You can mix a milk supplement into formula or water, using 1 packet per day. For breastfed babies, mothers should pay attention to adjusting their dietary structure, eating lighter, and drinking more water.
Advice: Gently massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction, twice a day, for 5-10 minutes each time. If the baby hasn't had a bowel movement for several days, you can use infant glycerin suppositories or soap sticks, but avoid using them for long periods. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
