Question
My baby hasn’t gone to the bathroom in a week, and it’s really Annoying. I’m thinking about how to get him to go to the bathroom. Could he be constipated? I’ve heard from my mother that drinking honey can help with constipation. Can children with constipation drink honey?
Answer
As it stands, not pooping for a long time can also lead to constipation. You can choose to give your child a clockwise abdominal massage to promote gastrointestinal movement. If your child has already started on solid foods, you should definitely ensure they eat plenty of vegetables and fruits rich in fiber. You can also consider using many intestinal activator drugs. If your child is not on solid foods yet and is under six months old, being breastfed exclusively, then not pooping once a week could be due to bloating rather than constipation. This situation is also normal.
