Q.

#AskTheExpert Hello Doctor.. My baby is 3.5 months old. She doesn't pass stool for 5-7 days. Once it was 9 days. it has happened 4-5 days. First time we had to give her suppository. Is there anything you recommend that we can do to make it regular. Earlier to this she use to pass normal stools 1-3 times a day and little bit while sneezing or couging.

A. constipation in small babies is very common and is more with formula milk. Usually constipation of few days is considered as normal in babies below 6 months of age,you can give Himalaya bonnisan drops three times a day to your child for good digestion and give frequent feeding, usually medicines or suppositories are avoided in such a case .if baby is having gastric pain you can give collimax drops.if you need to give any enzyme pregparation to your child you can consult doctor.give proper tummy time for about 15-20 mins and burping to avoid gastric trouble. In very small babies of 1 or 2 months of age it is very normal phone not to pass motion even for several days and on the contrary passing motion after every feed due to gastrocolic reflex is also considered as normal.
