How to use soap strips for constipation in newborns

Patient's question:

The doll is 50 days old. It hasn't had a bowel movement for eight days, so we used a soap stick to help it, and now it's the fifth day again without a bowel movement. The day before yesterday, the doctor at the local regular hospital prescribed medication. The stomach is not bloated and feels soft. Please ask how to use the soap stick if the baby can't have a bowel movement.

Doctor's answer:

Most are related to jaundice. In this case, we must have a specific examination to treat jaundice. We should eat more probiotics. Probiotics help improve gut flora and the baby's excretion. It is recommended to give the baby some probiotic supplements or drugs to promote jaundice excretion and improve gut flora.
The use method of a soap stick is to soften it with hot water. Adults should wear gloves. After lubricating the soap stick, insert it into the rectum to remove the stool. The soap stick is mainly used for lubrication and has no other functions.
