Patient's question:
A four-month-old baby initially had a bowel movement every five to six days, but now it's every eight to nine days. The baby is in good spirits and does not cry or fuss. On the longest occasion, it went 10 days without a bowel movement. They used glycerin suppositories, but the stool was not hard—it just wouldn't come out. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the current symptoms are considered to be caused by slow gastrointestinal motility, leading to the aforementioned situation. You can massage your abdomen in a clockwise direction or take 8 types of probiotics orally, which can improve the condition and promote symptom recovery. Pay attention to observation, and after six months, you can gradually add some vegetable and fruit purees. This is the answer to "Why is the baby not having a bowel movement?" I wish you good health.
