Patient's question:
The baby hasn't had a bowel movement for four and a half days, and sometimes doesn't eat much either. Can some honey water be given if there hasn't been a bowel movement for four and a half days?Regarding the assistance needed: If you receive a satisfactory answer, please reject it promptly and do not forgive the answerer!...
Doctor's answer:
It's time to start complementary foods, breast milk should never cause constipation in babies, so it must be the fault of complementary foods. This time, try to feed your baby with liquid or semi-liquid foods, such as porridge or noodles, and avoid feeding foods that are difficult to digest. Because the baby may have poor digestion and "fire."Mom's diet also needs attention. Avoid greasy foods and eat more vegetables and fruits to aid digestion and hydrate. When starting to introduce new foods, don't worry about rejection. Wait two days to see if the baby accepts them before considering further changes. Even soap bars can be used as a minimum to reduce dependency.
