Question
What’s Wrong with My Baby Not Pooping for Four Days?
Answer
Hello! Based on your description, your baby may be experiencing constipation, which could be related to their own intestinal function, especially in relation to the new complementary foods. When introducing new foods, it’s important to pay attention to food combinations, such as mixing fruit puree with egg yolks. Additionally, you can give your baby some water after meals to supplement fluids, or use a fire-clearing medicine to help with defecation. Currently, it is recommended to increase the intake of fruit puree and reduce the intake of egg yolks, gradually increasing the amount without rushing. The amount of egg yolks should be adjusted according to your baby’s adaptation. If there is no discomfort, you can increase the intake to two per day; if there is discomfort, reduce the intake. You can also introduce banana puree, apple puree, fresh juice, rice flour, and other foods.
