Two month old baby hasn't had a bowel movement for a week

If a two-month-old baby has not defecated for a week, it is considered to be difficult to defecate. Generally, breastfed babies usually breastfeed two to four times a day, or even more. It is normal for babies who are fed with formula to have a bowel movement once every one or two days. If the baby does not defecate for a week, it is possible that the baby is constipated and parents should pay attention. At this time, the baby is prone to bloating, stomach pain, and even crying.

This type of constipation is mostly caused by irregular lifestyle, unbalanced diet, etc.

Suggestions: Avoid overeating fried, alcoholic, spicy foods, and cold foods. Eat more whole grains and vegetables, drink plenty of water, etc.; eliminate mental stress, and do appropriate activities according to your physical condition to promote gastrointestinal motility and help with bowel movements. You can take Qingwei Huanglianhuang Pills, Xinqingning Tablets, Wuzirunchang Pills, etc. appropriately.

If the baby's abdomen is not bloated, and he/she eats milk and is in good spirits, you can first give the child some medicine to aid digestion, such as Mami Love, and at the same time massage the child, especially clockwise massage of the abdomen. You can also use a soap bar to lubricate the anus and then remove the stool. Don't use enema easily. Use soap bars first. You can have a bowel movement regularly every day for nearly a month.

If your baby does not defecate for a week, you may consider that the baby may have indigestion or weakened gastrointestinal motility, resulting in difficulty in defecation. At this time, parents should do the following:

1. This year, give your baby Mami Love or probiotics, as well as Children's Spleen Strengthening Powder, to regulate the body, enhance gastrointestinal motility, and promote digestion.

2. Make sure your baby drinks more water.

3. Massage your baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction twice a day for 5 to 10 minutes each time.

4. For infants, use appropriate bifidobacterium live bacteria preparations or Mommy Love conditioning, and use children's enema or soap bars to lubricate the baby's anus. Feed the baby with water appropriately.

5. Also pay attention to your mother’s diet, try to keep it light.

6. Massage your baby’s tummy more often. The baby's gastrointestinal system is not yet fully developed in the first three months, so don't worry too much.

7. You can feed your baby some Seven Star Tea, which may improve the condition. Try to let him squat for a while when you get up in the morning.

8. To correct constipation, you must first give your child enough milk. Before and after breastfeeding, you can feed him some rice soup to increase the number of intestinal fermentation bacteria and facilitate defecation. You can also give some sweetened vegetable juice, honey water, etc.
