Question
My baby is now 7 months old. He hasn’t had a bowel movement for 4 days now. He pees and vomits. I’m worried that his digestive system might be having issues. Doctor, what should I do if a newborn baby vomits and doesn’t defecate? Should I give him any medicine?
Answer
Newborns do not experience vomiting or bowel movement issues due to damaged digestive systems. It is recommended that you take your baby to the local hospital for an examination promptly to find the cause and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment. In everyday life, the baby’s feeding should be in small portions, with not too much food per meal. During feeding, you can gently pat your baby’s back to help with digestion.
