Question
My baby, who is 4 months and a few days old, is now being fed formula with a third of the egg yolk added. Is it normal for him to have a bowel movement every two days?
Answer
Your baby may be showing signs of constipation, which could be due to a lack of fluids leading to intestinal dryness. It’s suggested to try ‘Bian Nai Tong’ tea to alleviate intestinal heat and promote bowel movements. Additionally, increasing the intake of fluids and fiber-rich foods in your baby’s diet can also help prevent and improve constipation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s advisable to take your baby to see a doctor promptly.
