Question
Is it normal for a baby to be over 4 months old and not have a bowel movement, with very smelly farts?
Answer
If a baby goes three consecutive days without a bowel movement, it may be a digestive system issue. It is advisable for parents to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up and adjust the diet or use medication for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, parents can give the baby more water to drink and consume fibrous foods such as fruits and vegetables to help the baby defecate.
