What’s wrong if my baby has very little bowel movement?

People are always full of joy when a baby is born, but they often ignore the child's daily diet, which can easily cause the baby to suffer from constipation. Constipation is mainly caused by indigestion, so it is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for examination at this stage. Let me explain to you why your baby has difficulty defecation. Next, let us listen to my explanation!

When the elderly are constipated, they are just like children. They are also prone to constipation and the discomfort of not being able to defecate. They have personal experience and therefore worry about their children and grandchildren from their own perspective.

They are also influenced by the propaganda of health products, saying that constipation can cause self-poisoning and affect physical and mental health. Even more exaggerated, they say it will affect brain function and make children stupid. Some inaccurate popular science books are also adding fuel to the flames and exaggerating the rumors.

There are many causes of constipation in children, which can be roughly divided into two categories. One is organic causes, which are more common in children: congenital megacolon, anal or rectal atresia (commonly known as no buttocks), intra-abdominal lesions compressing the intestines, and congenital hypothyroidism.

Babies with this type of disease are constipated after birth. If the baby has not passed meconium after 24 hours of birth, these causes should be considered.

Some babies always cry and shout loudly before defecating, stretching their legs and stretching their bodies, which is very painful and can keep their neighbors awake. After crying and shouting for more than ten minutes, I heard a lot of feces being discharged from the anus. The baby suddenly became quiet again, laughing and playing as usual, like a good little baby.

The above explanation by the editor is about the reasons why the baby has very few bowel movements. I wonder if you have some understanding of the reason why the child has very few bowel movements after listening to the editor’s explanation. If you know that the child has very few bowel movements due to constipation, then you must pay more attention to the child’s diet at this stage. The editor hopes that your child will become healthier and healthier.
