Question
The newborn hasn’t pooped for 50 hours since birth. The urine is normal, and the baby farts frequently. What could be the reason?
Answer
Based on your description, if the newborn hasn’t pooped for five days after birth, it’s likely that there may be digestive issues. Possible reasons include insufficient intake, weak digestion and absorption, or slow intestinal movement. It is recommended to follow medical advice and administer digestive medicine to the baby. Gentle massage of the baby’s belly can also help promote defecation. If necessary, medication can be used to assist with a single bowel movement.
