Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Newborns not having a bowel movement for several days does not necessarily indicate constipation. The digestive tract muscles of newborns are still underdeveloped, which can easily lead to constipation and may also be accompanied by vomiting. As long as the baby's weight does not decrease, both vomiting and constipation are normal. You can add some vegetable water or orange juice (squeeze fresh oranges for the juice), tomato juice, or cook hawthorn water or red dates water appropriately.
