Patient's question:
After the baby is one month old, they experience several days of not having a bowel movement again. The parents become very worried that the baby might be constipated and then give them enemas or other medications to treat constipation. In fact, this is wrong. Parents should determine whether the baby is experiencing stool withholding () or true constipation before adopting any nursing measures. Avoid giving the baby medication randomly.Hello, how can you distinguish between stool withholding () and constipation in babies?
Doctor's answer:
The timing of recurrence varies:Timing of recurrence for:
typically recurs around the one-month mark, as the baby's digestive system develops better after the full moon (allowing for better digestion and absorption of breast milk). The duration is usually about one month.
Timing of recurrence for:
Constipation in infants can recur if nursing care is not properly managed or if the baby develops other illnesses. There is no specific timing for this; with proper care from parents, infant constipation can be alleviated.
