Question
What should I do if my baby under one month old has dry stools and can’t poop, even after a check-up but with no effect?
Answer
If a baby under one month old has dry stools and is unable to defecate, it could be due to formula milk or breast milk. You can try giving the baby probiotics and use a rectal lubricant to assist with defecation when the baby is unable to pass stool, but don’t worry too much. At the same time, cultivating good defecation habits for the child will help improve the situation gradually. Wishing you a happy life.
