Question
My baby is almost two months old and has been exclusively breastfeeding. Before, the baby had several bowel movements a day, but lately, the baby hasn’t had a bowel movement at all. The stools are hard and difficult to pass, and the flatulence is very smelly. What should I do?
Answer
The baby’s current situation may be due to gastrointestinal discomfort. Parents can try giving the baby more warm water and consider administering some appropriate medication. At the same time, parents should closely monitor the baby’s condition. If symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to take the baby to see a doctor as soon as possible.
