How to deal with constipation in a 3-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

4.5 days without defecation. After using a small soap head to help him, he defecated normally the next day, but then stopped again. Duration and course of the current illness: For the past 20 days, it has been like this. General condition: Medical history:

Doctor's answer:

Constipation can be said to be the most common symptom in children. There is no need to panic. The mother's influence on the baby is indeed significant, and dietary control is necessary. Breastfeeding is usually 2 to 4 times a day, while formula feeding is mostly 1 to 2 times a day. Compared to breastfeeding, formula feeding is more likely to cause constipation. If the child is young (babies under 10 months old) and the mother is capable, it is still best to ensure breastfeeding as much as possible.
