Question
Everything was normal three days ago, and the baby had regular bowel movements. He would eat half a bowl of thin rice porridge each time and was breastfed. Today is the third day, and the baby hasn’t urinated or eaten anything except for drinking water and breastmilk.
Answer
It is suggested to carefully check for signs of iron deficiency and possible digestive issues. It is recommended to try oral gluconate zinc and Shanyao Jianpi oral liquid. To ensure the child enjoys eating, attention should also be paid to the method. Some children have anorexia, and parents become anxious. In order to persuade the child to eat, some use toys to distract them during meals, while others allow the child to eat and play at the same time… Parents being overly indulgent and not understanding proper feeding methods are direct causes of children’s anorexia. Guidance: Provide the child with a relatively quiet bowel movement environment so that they can defecate easily and happily. Since the human digestive system is affected by emotions, stress can lead to decreased appetite. Therefore, when the child is defecating, adults should not talk loudly or joke around, nor should they distract the child by calling them to do this or that.
