Patient's question:
The doll has been two months old. I have been breastfeeding the doll all along. The doll hasn't had a bowel movement for about four or five days. It keeps straining but nothing comes out. I don't know what to do. I want to ask how to deal with constipation in two-month-old babies who can't pass stools?Doctor's answer:
The doll may have digestive issues with its gastrointestinal system, so attention should be paid to its diet. Avoid overfeeding the doll to prevent excessive fullness. The mother should also be mindful of her diet, consuming less greasy and fried foods, and eating more fruits and vegetables. Encourage the doll to drink warm water more often. Gentle clockwise abdominal massage can help promote gastrointestinal motility. Probiotics can be administered to regulate the digestive system, and if necessary, soap strips can be used for bowel movement.
