Patient's question:
A newborn baby is ten days old, and they have very few bowel movements. Currently, they have one bowel movement every three days. Is this considered constipation? How can I tell?First follow-up question: The baby is formula-fed, but their stool isn't hard—it's just a bit thick. Is this related to the mother's diet? How can it be resolved? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is possible! Then may I ask if the child is bottle-fed or breastfed?
