How to Help a Two-and-a-Half-Month-Old Baby Have a Bowel Movement?

Question

My baby is two and a half months old, and their stool is runny. They pass gas or move a bit and a little stool comes out. A couple of days ago, I gave them rice porridge, and now they haven’t pooped for two days, but they pass gas a lot. How should I help them have a bowel movement?

Answer

Considering the possibility of constipation and overly refined breast milk, you can try giving the baby appropriate probiotic preparations with bifidobacteria or MamiAi for opsonize, and use pediatric enemas or soap sticks to lubricate the baby’s anal opening to help with bowel movements.
