Question
How to treat a newborn who has not had a bowel movement for six days?
Answer
Newborns typically have a bowel movement once a day. A sudden change in feeding methods (such as switching from formula to breast milk) may cause the digestive system to adapt poorly, leading to constipation. It is recommended to take the child to a pediatrician for a check-up to understand the cause of the indigestion and to receive appropriate treatment advice.
