What to Do If Your Baby Has Difficulty Pooping?

Question

My baby is two months old and has difficulty pooping every three days. The stool is not dry but hard to pass, causing the baby to cry and appear very uncomfortable.

Answer

I’m glad to help clarify this for you. Based on your description, it is important to be aware of the possibility of insufficient intestinal motility, as well as the possibility of a lack of beneficial bacteria. Additionally, one should be cautious about the possibility of rectal prolapse. The first step is to maintain a calm demeanor, take adequate rest, ensure good quality sleep, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, increase intake of fibrous foods, and treat with oral medications such as Simmoxin Oral Liquid and Jindanxi. In case of necessity, it is advisable to seek diagnosis from a pediatrician at a regular hospital, where an experienced physician can personally confirm the specific treatment measures.
