Question
What should I do if my baby hasn’t pooped for four days after eating solid foods for three days?
Answer
Your baby has started on solid foods for the first time and now hasn’t had a bowel movement for four days. Without knowing the child’s diet and their mood, it’s hard to assess the situation. If the baby is in good spirits and has an appetite, with normal anal flatulence , then there’s likely no serious issue. You can prepare a rectal suppository for the child. Administer it in small amounts and ensure the child drinks plenty of water. You can also offer some vegetable puree and fruit puree. If the bowel movement still doesn’t occur, it’s advisable to consult a doctor.
