Question
My baby is fifty days old and has recently been experiencing abdominal distension and constipation. The stools are grainy. I have already used abdominal navel sticker and given the baby probiotics, but there has still been no bowel movement for more than a day. Is this situation normal?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby’s condition may be caused by dyspepsia. It is recommended that the mother avoid consuming excessive amounts of meat and greasy foods in her diet, and give the baby oral probiotics to adjust the intestinal flora. Additionally, you can give the baby symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to aid digestion and perform clockwise abdominal massage. If breastfeeding, the mother should also avoid spicy and irritating foods.
