What should I do if the baby is forty days old and pulls once every four or five days, and is a little constipated

If the baby is 40 days old and has 1 bowel movement in 4-5 days, accompanied by symptoms such as bloating and decreased appetite, it may be constipation. At this time, the symptoms can be relieved by adjusting the diet structure, massaging the abdomen, and exercising appropriately.

1. Physiological factors

Due to the imperfect development of the baby's digestive system and slow intestinal peristalsis, there will be a phenomenon of 1 bowel movement in 4-5 days. If there are no other uncomfortable symptoms, no special treatment can be required, and it will gradually improve as the baby grows.

2. Pathological factors

1. Adjust the dietary structure: pay attention to reasonable feeding in daily life, try to focus on light and easy-to-digest food, and avoid eating spicy and irritating food, so as not to aggravate the condition.At the same time, we should also pay attention to water intake and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and facilitate fecal excretion.

2. Massage the abdomen: Parents can gently rub the baby's abdomen clockwise with the palm of their hands, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, thereby helping defecation, and can also be effectively improved to a certain extent.

3. Appropriate exercise: You can also take your baby outdoors for proper exercise, such as walking, climbing stairs, etc., which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and have certain benefits for defecation.

In addition to this, it can also be treated with medication. If necessary, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner, and treat the symptoms after clarifying the cause.
