Question

My baby is three months old and has not had a bowel movement for four days. Is this constipation?

Answer

The digestive system of infants is not fully developed, making them prone to constipation. If your baby has gone four days without a bowel movement, this could be a sign of constipation. You can try giving your baby some water with honey and gently massaging their stomach to help with the bowel movement. If the situation does not improve, you can use a suppository to help your baby have a bowel movement. Please note, these are just some general suggestions. If the situation persists or worsens, please consult a doctor.
