What happens if a newborn baby doesn’t poop for a day?

Many mothers are always confused about when their babies defecate. Why do they sometimes defecate many times, and why do they sometimes not defecate for several days? They don’t know what’s going on.

Many mothers are always worried about this, and they are afraid that their babies have some disease, so they often go to major hospitals for treatment, which makes themselves and their babies suffer. There is no fixed pattern for the metabolism of newborns, and it mainly depends on the food they eat in a single day. The details are explained below.

Newborns cannot defecate regularly because their defecation mechanism is not fully developed. They often have a lot of stool. The nerves in the rectal wall feel the expansion pressure, which triggers reflex defecation. This is why some babies only defecate once every few days. Stimulation with a thermometer can also cause them to defecate because it can trigger a reflex. Breast-fed babies absorb breast milk more completely and have less stool. Some babies may only defecate once every few days, and not necessarily as they eat. Therefore, a newborn baby who has not defecated for a few days is not necessarily constipated. The way to determine whether a newborn baby is constipated is to observe the stool characteristics. If the characteristics are normal, it is normal not to defecate for a few days. Pay attention to drinking more water at ordinary times. If the baby is bottle-fed, pay attention to diluting the milk powder.

Generally, there is no fixed number for the number of times a child should defecate. As long as the stool is soft and regular, even if it is five or six times a day, or once every two or three days, it is normal. This is because the individual constitution of the child is different. This baby's condition does not belong to infant constipation, and it has little to do with the baby's feeding method. If you are still worried, you can try medication and choose Xiaoer Qixing Tea or Qinghuobao for treatment. Combined with Mommy Love for treatment, it can regulate the beneficial flora in the intestines and restore bowel movements to normal.
