Question

How to handle constipation in a baby after one month?

Answer

Hello, your child has not had a bowel movement for six days, which may be due to internal heat or poor gastrointestinal motility, as well as excessive milk intake leading to constipation. You can try massaging your baby’s abdomen or using a lubricant enema to assist with defecation. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a check-up promptly to avoid delaying treatment. Moreover, parents should pay attention to their child’s dietary habits and avoid overfeeding or giving the baby difficult-to-digest foods.
