Patient's question:
My baby hasn't had a bowel movement for 50 days now. Previously, it was once a day or every two days. Recently, there were two instances where it was four days apart. We are also taking probiotics.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this parent. According to the situation you described, the main consideration is indigestion or constipation. It is recommended to feed the baby every two to three hours, not too frequently. For breastfeeding, drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and have some honey water to avoid affecting the baby. It is suggested to gently massage around the navel in a clockwise direction to aid digestion. If there is still no bowel movement, it is recommended to use some glycerin suppositories.
