POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. If your four-month-old baby hasn't pooped for a day and is crying, it can be concerning, but it’s important to remember that infants can have variations in their bowel movements. A day without a bowel movement isn't always a sign of constipation, especially if they are otherwise feeding well and not showing signs of discomfort. However, to help encourage a bowel movement, you can try gentle methods. Ensure your baby is well-hydrated, as dehydration can lead to harder stools. You can also try gently moving their legs in a bicycle motion while they lie on their back, which can help stimulate their intestines. A warm bath can also relax their abdominal muscles and may encourage a bowel movement. If your baby continues to be fussy, appears to be in pain, or if the situation persists for more than a couple of days, it’s best to consult your pediatrician. They can assess your baby’s health and provide specific advice tailored to their needs.
