Question
What should I do if my two-month-old baby has a bowel movement every five or six days?
Answer
Your situation may indicate constipation, often related to insufficient fluid intake or diet. For breastfed infants, you can increase the sugar content in milk during constipation and add fruit juice. For older infants, honey can be provided. Pain-free methods can be used to resolve this issue. (1) Gently rub the baby’s abdomen with your palm, with the navel as the center, making circles from left to right. Massage for 10 times, rest for 5 minutes, and then massage for another 10 times. Repeat this process for three cycles. Wishing your baby good health.
