What should I do if my newborn baby has not had a bowel movement for two days?

Metabolism in daily life usually represents some symptoms of our body. When our metabolism is abnormal, it proves that there is a problem with our stomach and intestines. The same is true for newborns. How to solve the problem when a newborn has not defecated for two days? Haha, let us understand how to solve the problem when a newborn has not defecated for two days.

There are many ways to treat your baby's constipation. But the first thing you need to do is to determine whether your baby is really constipated, because sometimes what appears in your baby may just be a false sign. If your baby only has a bowel movement every three days, but the stool is large and soft, it is not constipation. If it is constipation, the baby's stool should stay in the large intestine long enough to become very dry and hard. It's possible for babies to go several days without a bowel movement, but as long as their stools are soft, they are not constipated.

Another illusion is the baby's expression. Some babies may take defecation as a big deal. They will make a painful expression, turn red and make a "humming" sound. But even though they look sick, their poop is actually quite normal. This usually happens because your baby's coordination skills are not fully developed yet. In order to defecate, some muscles need to be tightened and some need to be relaxed. Therefore, some babies may not know how to control different nerves, so they tighten the relevant muscle groups by tightening the facial muscles. So parents don’t need to worry, they will just blush.

The above is the solution for newborns who have not defecated for two days. When I show you a defecation, my face usually turns red. Mothers must observe some characteristics of their babies. Usually these characteristics will give us some clues to let us understand their physical condition. Babies do not have good expression ability and can only be observed by their parents, so moms and dads must not ignore it.
