Question
My baby is 50 days old and hasn’t had a bowel movement for eight days. After using the soap strip, they had a bowel movement. Now it’s been five days again and they haven’t had a bowel movement. I went to a local regular hospital and the doctor prescribed medicine, and the baby’s belly is soft. How should I use the soap strip if my baby can’t have a bowel movement?
Answer
Mostly related to jaundice. In this case, we must conduct a specific examination and then treat the jaundice. It is recommended to consume more probiotics to improve intestinal flora and promote defecation. The method of using soap strips is to soften them with hot water, moisten the anus, and then insert them into the anus to push out the stool. They mainly serve as a lubricant and have no other effects.
