Question
Is it normal for a 3-month-old baby to not have a bowel movement for 5 days?
Answer
A 3-month-old baby not having a bowel movement for five days may be due to constipation or indigestion. It is suggested to give the child appropriate probiotics and other medications for adjustment, and to perform abdominal massage to promote intestinal peristalsis. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet, maintain proper warmth, avoid catching a cold, and cultivate the habit of regular bowel movements. If the situation does not improve after a period of time, it is recommended to take the child to see a doctor as soon as possible.
