Patient's question:
My daughter is 40 days old. She hasn't had a bowel movement for two or three days. The elders say it might be because her intestines are blocked, which means that her bowel movements will become regular in the future. But I feel like they are still not comfortable. I don't know if it's a pathological condition. Is it really like this?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The baby is 40 days old. It hasn't had a bowel movement for the past three days. You can first observe if the baby shows signs of crying, vomiting, or not eating. If the baby is breastfed, adults should avoid fried, spicy, and hot foods. It's important to drink more water and eat more vegetables and fruits. The baby can be given some probiotics like Momei Ai to regulate the digestive system. If the baby hasn't had a bowel movement for more than three days and shows symptoms of bloating, vomiting, or crying, it needs to be addressed. Suppositories can be used to relieve constipation, but they should not be used frequently.
