Question
My three-month-old baby has bowel movements every four days. Is this normal? The stool is soft. The baby cries when passing gas. Gas is passed every day, and it smells very bad. Should I give the baby something to aid digestion?
Answer
Based on your description, considering the child might have a slight constipation issue, I suggest drinking some warm water, gently massaging the abdomen in a clockwise direction, carefully observing the digestive probiotics, and if necessary, visiting the pediatric department for a thorough check-up. You can use many probiotic drugs to nourish the intestinal flora, such as Bifidobacterium Triple Action Live Yeast Powder, and also use many other probiotics. Additionally, you can apply abdominal cold compresses and massage to help improve gastrointestinal motility and stabilize absorption functions.
