    This mother, the newborn does not poop for five days, which may be normal, or it may be that the newborn is constipated.

    First of all, because the mechanism of neonates is not yet mature, they cannot defecate regularly, and often have a large amount of stool, and the nerves in the rectal wall feel the distending pressure, which triggers reflex release, which is why some newborns only solve once every few days.

    Breastfed newborns, due to the complete absorption of breast milk, the amount of stool is small, some will take several days to relieve the stool, if the newborn is in good spirits, eat normally, have regular stools, normal bowel movements and sticky yellow, a few days of stool is also normal. And because breast milk is a near-perfect food for newborns, constipation generally occurs in artificially fed newborns, especially newborns who are breastfed.

    However, if the following characteristics are present, it should be judged constipation.

    1.No bowel movements for more than 48 hours.

    2.Difficulty in passing stools, crying during bowel movements.

    3.The stool is small, hard, and dark.

    4.Abdominal distension and pain.

    5.Loss of appetite.

    6.Weight loss.

    If the baby is constipated, it is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination, find out, and solve the problem fundamentally. Don't rely too much on external means (e.g., using kessel dew), as once it becomes a habit, the normal defecation reflex will disappear and constipation will become difficult to correct.

    So how to prevent constipation in your baby?

    1.Mothers should eat a balanced diet, should not eat too much high-protein food (such as eggs, beef, shrimp, etc.), should eat as much vegetables and fruits as possible, and avoid spicy and hot food.

    2.To ensure the baby's activity, insufficient activity will also easily lead to poor bowel movements, the mother should ensure that the newborn has a certain amount of activity every day to promote intestinal peristalsis (such as: you can hold the baby and shake it, massage the baby's abdomen, etc.).
