Question

How do you treat a three-month-old baby who hasn’t had a bowel movement for several days?

Answer

When a baby experiences constipation, it may be due to individual constitution or gastrointestinal dysfunction. It’s also important to consider the possibility of enteritis or dysbiosis, as well as factors like internal heat. Parents can try giving the baby medications like MamiAi or XiaoEr Simo Soup, while also gently massaging the baby’s abdomen to promote intestinal peristalsis. Additionally, it’s advisable to introduce appropriate refined foods, such as vegetables, sweet potatoes, and fruits, into the baby’s diet to help soften the stool.
