Question
Why might a three-month-old baby have constipation?
Answer
A three-month-old baby might suffer from constipation due to fluid deficiency or excessive internal heat in the intestines. It is suggested to use the Beni Tong tea to alleviate internal heat and observe the baby’s defecation frequency and consistency. For newborns breastfed exclusively, there may be 6 to 10 bowel movements per day, and the stools are usually runny or watery, possibly containing mucus or milk residue. As the baby grows older, stools will gradually become softer and thicker. If you are concerned about your baby’s health, it is best to consult a doctor for professional advice.
