The physical health status of infants and young children cannot be expressed through their mouths, so sometimes it is necessary for parents to observe carefully in order to identify where the child is going wrong. A child's urination and defecation can reflect their health problems very well, and pulling too hard or too thin is not good. How many days do infants and young children not defecate?
Firstly, it is necessary to observe whether the child's mental state is normal. If the child's diet is normal and they do not cry or make noise, it may be because the baby's digestive system is very good and there is very little food residue left behind. At this point, it is important to pay attention to the dietary structure and adjust the child's diet accordingly. Children over four months of age can generally prepare complementary foods so that they will experience a sensation of defecation after digestion.
Massaging children's temples and Tian Shu points can effectively promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and facilitate bowel movements. At the same time, you can also massage clockwise around the baby's navel to promote bowel movements.
If a child has poor mental health, lethargy, and loss of appetite, then it is necessary to consider whether the child is sick and take them to a regular hospital for examination. If there is indeed a problem, do not use medication for the baby at will. At the same time, it is important to remember not to rely on drugs such as chlorhexidine, as it can create dependency in children.
If the child cannot improve for a long time, it is necessary to consider whether it is a medical problem. Take the child to a large hospital to see if it is an organ disease, such as anal atresia or congenital megacolon.
