Question
My baby hasn’t had a bowel movement for 4 days after the first month, and the farts smell bad. What could be the reason?
Answer
Based on your description, your one-month-old baby has not pooped for 4 days and has smelly farts, which may indicate constipation. The current situation might be related to the baby’s gastrointestinal function being out of order. It is suggested that you give your baby probiotics and gastrointestinal health supplements to nourish the digestive system, and ensure that your baby is getting enough water. If this condition persists for more than 5 days, consider using a rectal suppository to help your baby defecate.
