Question
An infant over a month old is having difficulty pooping, feeling constipated, with yellowish stools. Each time they try to poop, they cry. What could be the reason, considering they are being breastfed?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, your baby has developed constipation issues after more than a month of breastfeeding. The initial judgment suggests that it may be due to gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is recommended to give your child probiotics orally, while also ensuring warmth and gently massaging the abdomen to relieve symptoms. In severe cases, you can use a rectal suppository to help resolve the issue.
