Question
My baby hasn’t had a bowel movement for a week now, and they’re drinking less milk, and their weight gain isn’t as much as before. What could be the reason? I hope to get my child to drink more milk and gain more weight.
Answer
If a baby hasn’t had a bowel movement for several days, it might be due to not eating enough, so it’s important to ensure they get enough milk each day. Also, observe the nature of their bowel movements; if they are hard stools, they may need more fluids. Gently massage your baby’s abdomen in a clockwise direction for five minutes in the morning and evening to slow down intestinal movement and encourage bowel movements. Additionally, make sure your baby gets enough fluids; plain water is the best laxative. Please note that you have provided some incorrect formatting and inconsistencies in your sample output.
