Question
What should I do if my baby hasn’t had a bowel movement in two days? I didn’t know he had this condition, and he doesn’t seem very spirited.
Answer
Here are some general methods for dealing with constipation: 1) Drink plenty of water, absolutely plenty, and you can add milk powder or water with a milk companion, one packet per day. 2) For breastfed babies, mothers should pay attention to adjusting their dietary structure, eat more lightly, and also drink more water. 3) Give your baby abdominal clockwise massage twice a day, for 5-10 minutes each time. 4) If there is no bowel movement for several days, you can use children’s lubricating enema or soap sticks. But do not use them for a long time. 5) Eat more fruits and vegetables.
