The baby hasn\’t had a bowel movement for more than ten days, and it\’s actually because…

Question 1: My baby is more than four months old and is breastfeeding. I used to have bowel movements almost twice a week, but now I haven\’t had a bowel movement for almost two weeks. But I see nothing unusual about the baby. He is feeding as usual and his belly is not bloated. What is going on? Need some medicine? Doctor Xu Lijuan answered: There is no need to take any medicine, because the baby is considered to be suffering from diarrhea. Generally, babies who are breastfed are more likely to have diarrhea. This is because the baby\’s digestive ability has improved, the absorption rate of breast milk is high, and less fecal residue is produced, so it needs to accumulate to a certain amount before it is excreted. In fact, the belly belly also shows that the mother\’s breast milk is of good quality, otherwise the baby will have difficulty digesting it no matter how good his intestines are. As for how to judge whether the baby is constipated or constipated, there are the following criteria: Congested belly ❶ Good condition ❷ Eating and sleeping normally ❸ No crying or fussing ❹ Soft stool ❺ Good weight gain Constipation ❶ Hard stool ❷ Dry and hard stool ❸ Due to defecation Anal fissure ❹ Crying during defecation ❺ Abdominal bloating and loss of appetite It is not abnormal for a baby to have a full belly. If parents are very anxious, they can insert a cotton swab dipped in finely ground sesame oil into the anus and rotate it, or occasionally use Kaiselu to stimulate the discharge of stool. Question 2: My baby girl is 26 days old. She hasn’t slept in the past two days. She cries and wakes up after being put to sleep for a short while. She also always hiccups. She often snores when breathing, as if there is phlegm. Sometimes There is also a growling sound in my stomach. What is the reason for this? Need to go to the hospital? Dr. Zhang Yanmei answered: If you do not supplement vitamin AD, it is recommended to supplement it. The baby\’s throat snores like phlegm. At this age, it is considered to be caused by hypoplasia of the laryngeal cartilage, which usually develops in about 6 months. Stomach gurgles are bowel sounds and are not abnormal. Question 3: It has been 9 months since I had a caesarean section. My discharge was brown, but it was gone for two days. Why do I still have stomachache sometimes? What kind of inspection is needed? Dr. Chen Dan’s answer: It is recommended to hold in your urine and do a color ultrasound, mainly to see the thickness of the endometrium and to see if there are any other abnormalities.
