Question
Is it normal for a baby not to have a bowel movement for five days?
Answer
It is recommended that parents increase the intake of fruits and vegetables and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water, adjusting the diet accordingly. If the baby still has difficulty in passing stool, consider using a rectal suppository to aid in defecation. There are many factors that can cause pediatric digestive diseases. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric digestive disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious to avoid cultivating the child’s bad habit of picky eating and maintain a balanced diet.
