Question
The child is two months old and is fed three times a day with formula milk. Lately, the baby hasn’t had a bowel movement for three days, even though they have been drinking water. What solutions are there?
Answer
It is recommended to massage the baby’s abdomen and consider using a rectal suppository specifically designed for children. If the baby has been going every other day, this may be normal, but it’s best to have a bowel movement daily to reduce discomfort. Additionally, increasing the intake of fruits can help. If the constipation issue persists, it is advisable to take the child to see a doctor as soon as possible.
