What should I do if my baby who is on formula milk is not having a bowel movement?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, she is 2 years old this year. Recently, she has always had difficulty defecating, and I am very worried. Please ask: What should I do if the baby does not defecate when drinking formula?

Doctor's answer:

The digestive system of infants and young children has not yet fully developed, so their stomachs and intestines may not adapt well during the transition to formula milk, and the formula milk tends to be quite "hot." It is recommended that you give your baby more water and, if necessary, some cooling beverages to alleviate symptoms. In terms of complementary foods, focus on eating more vegetables and fruits, with a light and simple diet as the foundation. Avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent bowel issues. Ensure a balanced diet to guarantee adequate nutrient intake. For parents, it is important to help children receive timely medical treatment. Additionally, pay attention to a balanced diet for your baby's daily meals—avoid over-nourishing or malnutrition.
