Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Just breastfeeding, the baby often says nonsense, quite smelly, but just doesn't poop much. It's been about ten days. He doesn't cry or fuss, looks quite normal. Before, he was about 3 days apart when he pooped, but this time it's too long, don't know what to do?? ...
Doctor's answer:
The main method of feeding. If there hasn't been a bowel movement for 3-4 days, you can use infant glycerin suppositories or soap sticks to moisten the rectum and promote bowel movement. However, be a little gentle with the action.Additionally, it is recommended:
1) Drink more water, and definitely drink more water. You can add milk to the formula or water, with 1 packet per day. Do not consume formula, breast milk, and calcium together. They should be spaced 2 hours apart, otherwise, it may also cause constipation and interfere with the digestion of milk and calcium. Not only will it be ineffective, but it may also cause severe side effects.
2) For breastfed babies, the mother should pay attention to adjusting the dietary structure. Eat a lighter diet, and the mother should also drink more water.
3) Massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction twice a day, for 5-10 minutes each time.
4) Eat more fruits and vegetable juices. The speed of feeding should never be too fast. You can dilute the formula a bit.
