Patient's question:
The baby is now 45 days old. In this period, he has a bowel movement about twice a day. Today, he had a very small amount of stool and it felt a bit dry. He also cries frequently. The family is a bit worried. Please advise on what to do if a 45-day-old newborn cannot have a bowel movement.Doctor's answer:
Adopt physical therapy, give Bao Bao Shun abdominal massage to promote his bowel movement, while also adopting dietary therapy. He can eat fresh squeezed juice, preferably pear juice or watermelon juice, and avoid spicy foods. It is also important to note that many pregnant women tend to eat more stimulating foods during lactation, and some after catching a cold, which are often added with various seasonings, making it easy for the baby to have a "hot" reaction after drinking milk. Although adults may not have any issues, the child's stomach is very weak, and it can be harmful to the body's absorption.
