What's wrong with the baby not having a bowel movement for two days?

Newborn babies have frequent bowel movements every day. This is determined by their digestive tract. Each child has different physical fitness and the symptoms they experience are also different. It is common for babies to not have a bowel movement for several days. Let us now understand why babies do not have a bowel movement for two days.

The first thing is to replenish water for your child. You can try to dilute the milk powder and give your child some water between meals. Generally, a child under 2 months old can drink about 10-20 ml of water per meal, and no more than 50-60 ml a day. If you want to dilute the milk powder, it is best to replenish this amount of water. Too much water is not good for the child. In addition, you can try to rub your baby's belly in a clockwise direction to help the stool in his stomach dissolve and be discharged automatically through the intestines as soon as possible. You can also try feeding your child a little juice, but the total amount of juice should not exceed 10 ml a day. However, for children of this age, it is normal to defecate once every two days. If there is no improvement after the above methods, it is recommended to go to the hospital to see a doctor. It may be caused by gastrointestinal problems in the child, which requires timely treatment to avoid accidents.

Don't worry, your baby has started to hold back his bowel movements and won't have bowel movements as often as during the confinement period. My poop used to be in a paste form, but after I had enough food, it slowly started to become in the form of strings.

If you feed your baby some water on a regular basis, he will be fine for two days, and generally he will be normal for three to five days.

Does your baby drink milk? If your baby's appetite is normal, you don't have to worry. Please give your baby more water, or add some fresh fruit juice between meals (diluted at a 1:1 ratio). If that doesn’t work, try using some Mommy Love.

There are many reasons for constipation. First of all, we must rule out constipation caused by disease. For example, megacolon often causes constipation, abdominal distension, and vomiting shortly after birth. Severe rickets, malnutrition, and hypothyroidism can cause constipation due to reduced abdominal muscle tone and weakened intestinal motility. Less common diseases such as brain, spinal nervous system, and congenital diseases can also cause constipation. But the most common cause is dietary factors, such as too little food intake, too refined food intake, too little food fiber, insufficient water or excessive protein intake can all cause constipation. In addition, lack of good bowel habits, irregular bowel movements, or changes in the environment and conditions of bowel movements can cause constipation.

In addition to treating the primary disease caused by constipation, the most important thing is to change eating habits, eat more vegetables and fruits, such as potatoes, potatoes and other high-fiber foods, drink plenty of water, do not eat too refined food, and combine coarse and fine grains. For small babies, you can add some honey to help defecation. It is also necessary to develop good habits of regular bowel movements, such as letting children defecate after breakfast every day, every 5 to 10 minutes. Do not distract children during defecation, and make sure the toilet environment is quiet and comfortable. It is not recommended to frequently use enema or soap to relieve constipation.

The above is an introduction to the situation where a baby does not have a bowel movement for two days. Sometimes this is normal, but it happens constantly. It means that there is something abnormal in your body. When your child shows signs of this, seek medical treatment promptly.
