Father of a 4 yr 3 m old boy4 years ago
Q.

Hi my baby (one month old) is taking feeds well, however he is not passing stools regularly. When connected with paediatrician, he suggested that it is quite common problem for new born babies nothing to worry and suggested to use Glycerin 1gm rectal suppository after 10days of waiting. Same has been done, after 10days of waiting we had used Glycerin rectal suppository. Again today is 6th day he didn't pass the stool. Other paediatrician suggested not to use Glycerin rectal suppository as it is not safe at this age, and suggested to use Livoluk oral syrup. Please guide me and throw some light on it and provide your valuable suggestions.

A. If Your child is passing you in 5 to 7 times to 15 times also in a day then it would be normal and also if your child is not passing motion for 7 to 10 Days then also it is normal because constipation a disease is very normal because the child is only on liquid diet so if they pass code amount of urine then there is nothing you need to worry about
