    Yes, it is not normal for a child to have no bowel movements for three days. You can rub your child's stomach clockwise, or apply a local hot compress to promote your child's intestinal peristalsis, promote stool excretion, or give your child a massage**. The intake of milk will produce enough stool to prevent the child from being wrapped too much, causing the older child to wear more and will not increase significant water loss, which can easily lead to constipation in the child.

    Babies are likely to not have a bowel movement for a few days, but as long as their stool is soft, it is not constipation. If the poop is very dry and hard, it may be constipation. The easiest way is to add more water to your baby's meal, about 110 grams more.

    This is enough to soften and lubricate the bowels in your baby's large intestine. However, if too much water is added, it may have the opposite effect, so the right amount is fine.
