POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. If your baby hasn’t had a bowel movement for 12 days, it’s important to address this carefully, especially if they are very young. First, check if your baby is showing signs of discomfort, bloating, vomiting, or refusing feeds—if yes, see a doctor immediately. For mild constipation in infants, you can try:
Giving a small amount of warm water or diluted fruit juice (like pear or prune juice) if your baby is over 6 months old (check with your pediatrician first). Gently massaging the baby’s tummy in a clockwise direction. Moving the baby’s legs in a cycling motion to help stimulate the bowels. Ensuring they stay well-hydrated.
Avoid giving any medication or laxatives without medical advice. If the problem continues or your baby seems uncomfortable, please consult your pediatrician promptly.
