Patient's question:
The child has recently had fewer bowel movements and seems to be having difficulty defecating. I'm worried it might be constipation. What are the solutions for constipation in newborns?Doctor's answer:
The child does not drink much milk, so naturally, they will not have a bowel movement. This is something parents need to pay attention to. At this stage, the baby's growth and development mechanisms are not yet mature, and their ability to perceive the surroundings is poor. Therefore, it's not that the child won't need a diaper change just because they are sleeping; you may need to gently wake them up, let them eat properly, and then let them take a nap. The patient should develop a regular sleep schedule, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
