Question
My baby is almost two months old and hasn’t had a bowel movement for the past five consecutive days. The urine is normal, feeding is normal, and the baby doesn’t cry much and is in good spirits. What could be the reason for not having a bowel movement? What should I do? Previous treatment and effectiveness: None, looking for help on what to do.
Answer
Based on your description, it’s generally considered that the child may have weak spleen and stomach, leading to digestive disorders. It’s recommended that the baby can take medications such as Compound Pancreatic Enzyme Powder, Strengthening Spleen Granules, and Awakening Spleen and Nourishing Baby Granules to nourish the gastrointestinal tract, or take pediatric stomach-soothing and digestion tablets to digest and accumulate food. In daily life, you can feed the baby in small amounts, eat some warm and easily digestible foods, pay attention to keeping warm, apply a cold compress to the navel, and closely observe the situation.
