Question
What should I do if a baby over ten days old hasn’t had a bowel movement for six days?
Answer
Your situation may be due to dryness and constipation of the intestines, where there is a loss of body fluids, the intestines lose moisture, and the transmission function is impaired, manifested mainly by dry stools, difficulty in defecation, and symptoms of fluid deficiency. Also known as intestinal dryness syndrome with excessive internal heat in the large intestine, it can be treated with ‘Bowel Movement Tea’.
