Question

The baby is three months old but has bowel movements only every four or five days. How should this be handled? Can the baby consume Mommy Love? Additionally, the baby has had eczema on the face since birth. What should be done? The baby is in good health. How has past treatment been and what were the results? What should I do?

Answer

Since information about whether the baby is breastfed or formula-fed is not provided, bowel movements every four or five days may not be normal, but generally, they are not dangerous. Probiotics can be considered. Simply having irregular bowel movements usually does not cause any disturbance, but you can now consider providing juice or a small amount of fruit such as apples or bananas. Eczema itself does not cause harm, but it may indicate that the baby has an allergic constitution and may experience skin allergies or other issues in the future, such as frequent coughing during a fever, but this is not absolute. It is advised not to give the baby seafood such as fish or shrimp too early.
