Question
From birth to now (18 days), the baby has been experiencing gastrointestinal bloating, with no bowel movements. After a bowel cleanse, there are more gas bubbles, and the stool is grainy. Inquire if the baby has any other discomforts or reactions at birth.
Answer
Based on your description, if the baby has not had a bowel movement for several days, be aware of the possibility of intestinal malformation. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a bowel irrigation examination to see if there is any intestinal malformation (such as congenital megacolon or malrotation of the small intestine). Then, treatment will be conducted according to the situation.
