Question
Why does my baby not have a bowel movement for several days?
Answer
When your baby is constipated, you can try the following methods: 1. Use a warm towel to apply heat around the baby’s anus to stimulate defecation. 2. Use lubricants or suppositories specifically designed for children. 3. Massage your baby’s abdomen in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions for 30 times each day. 4. Gently insert a small piece of soap shaped into a cone into the baby’s anus and rotate it to aid in defecation. Please note that it is best to consult with a doctor before using any method.
