Question
What should I do if my baby hasn’t had a bowel movement for a week?
Answer
Your baby may be experiencing constipation, which is quite common due to the underdeveloped digestive system. Parents can try feeding their baby honey water and gently massaging the abdomen to aid in defecation. If constipation persists, consider using a rectal suppository. Remember, the healthy growth of your child is the most important, and if needed, seek professional medical help promptly.
