Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. 6 महीने से कम उम्र के छोटे बच्चों के लिए 10 दिनों तक मल त्याग न करना पूरी तरह से सामान्य है।
यदि वे दिन में 6 या 7 बार से अधिक बार मल त्याग कर रहे हों तो यह भी सामान्य है।
यदि मल की स्थिरता अर्ध ठोस से ठोस है तो मल की आवृत्ति के साथ-साथ रंग (रंग पीले भूरे हरे से काले fतक हो सकता है) के बारे में चिंता करने की कोई आवश्यकता नहीं है।
पेशाब और मल पास करते समय भी तनाव होना सामान्य है।
बच्चे का वजन ठीक से बढ़ता है और बच्चा खेलता रहता है तो इस बारे में चिंता करने की जरूरत नहीं होती।
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. If a four-month-old baby is not having bowel movements, it could be due to several factors. Here are some potential reasons and steps to address the issue:
### **Possible Reasons:**
1. **Diet:** If the baby is exclusively breastfed or formula-fed, changes in the feeding routine or formula might affect bowel movements.
2. **Dehydration:** Insufficient fluid intake can lead to constipation.
3. **Normal Variation:** Some babies may have less frequent bowel movements, which can still be normal as long as the stool is soft and the baby is not in discomfort.
4. **Medical Concerns:** Occasionally, constipation can be a sign of an underlying issue, especially if accompanied by other symptoms like pain or discomfort.
### **What You Can Do:**
1. **Check Feeding:** Ensure the baby is getting enough fluids. If the baby is formula-fed, you might want to consult with your pediatrician about the type of formula being used.
2. **Tummy Time:** Gently massaging the baby’s tummy or giving them tummy time can help stimulate bowel movements.
3. **Bicycle Legs:** Moving the baby’s legs in a bicycle motion can sometimes help with digestion and bowel movements.
4. **Hydration:** If your pediatrician recommends it, offering a small amount of water or diluted fruit juice might help (for babies older than 6 months).
### **When to Consult a Pediatrician:**
- If the baby has not had a bowel movement for more than a few days.
- If the baby seems to be in pain or shows signs of discomfort.
- If there is any change in the baby’s overall health or feeding habits.
Consulting your pediatrician will ensure that any potential issues are addressed and that you receive guidance tailored to your baby’s specific needs.
