It is common for babies not to have bowel movement for 2 days as it is a normal physiological phenomenon. Babies who have dry stools that interfere with bowel movement or those who continue to have no bowel movement under observation may be suffering from constipation.
For infants, there are individual differences in daily bowel habit and it is related to diet and other factors, some babies have bowel movement once in 1~2 days, while some babies have bowel movement once or twice a day, as long as their bowel movement is more regular and the shape of bowel movement is normal.
For infants who have not defecated for 2 days, it is commonly seen as a normal physiological phenomenon and is not considered abnormal for the time being. For infants who have already added complementary foods, they can drink more water as appropriate and increase the intake of dietary fiber, and continue to observe their defecation situation.
If you continue to observe the baby for several days but still not defecate, obviously more than its previous defecation interval, or the baby’s stool is dry, affecting its defecation, we need to pay attention to whether it is constipation, and can be used as appropriate to soften the stool with Keselen.
If necessary, consultation with a specialist is required. Please follow your doctor’s instructions for the above medications.
