Question
The 2-month-old baby has not pooped for 4 days after drinking formula milk, and there has been no improvement even after taking probiotics for two days. Inquiry about whether to continue taking probiotics and how to handle constipation issues. Moreover, the baby’s weight has not increased after one month of drinking formula milk, and the formula has been changed twice. Currently using a new formula, inquire whether it is necessary to change the formula again.
Answer
Based on the provided medical history, the baby has not pooped for 4 days. It is recommended to temporarily stop changing formulas, as the baby’s gastrointestinal function is not fully developed, and frequent changes may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Currently, it is suggested to give the baby more water, pay attention to abdominal warmth, and perform abdominal massage to help with defecation. If the situation does not improve, consider using medication treatments such as Qizhen Dan. It is recommended to continue observing and taking the aforementioned measures, hoping this will be helpful to you.
