What is the reason for the baby's difficult bowel movement?

Patient's question:

Every eight or nine days, it was once a day when just born, not yet a month old and already starting. Initially, it was every three or four days, then every five or six days. The output was also thin. The doctor at the hospital said it was due to not being well-nourished and prescribed some medicine.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to drink more water (mothers who are breastfeeding should also drink more water); the speed of feeding should not be too fast, and the formula can be made thinner; you can gently rub the baby's little tummy; when holding him to poop, you can gently press his legs to help him push; when he is straining to poop, you can give him some lactulose drops, which are available at pharmacies and are specifically for children. The child is suffering from a newborn disease, so the mother must take the child to the hospital immediately for medical treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. It is important to treat the symptoms promptly. For parents, it is essential to observe the changes in the child's symptoms and do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
