A four-month exclusively breastfed baby hasn't had a bowel movement for two days. What should I do?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

General treatment methods for constipation include:
1) Drink more water, make sure to drink more water. You can add a milk companion to milk or water, one pack per day.
2) For breastfed babies, mothers should adjust their dietary structure, eat lighter, and also drink more water.
3) Massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction, twice a day, for 5–10 minutes each time.
4) If the baby hasn't defecated for several days, you can use infant glycerin or soap strips. But do not use them for a long time.
5) Eat more fruits and vegetables.
