Is it normal for a baby not to shit for three days?

summary

My baby has been born for more than 20 days now. In the first few days, he always pooped. Basically, he didn't eat anything except my milk. I don't know why he always pooped. Every time when the baby was crying, he could open his diapers and see that the baby pooped again. Later, I jokingly called him smelly baby, But recently, he doesn't like to poop. Is it normal for a baby not to poop for three days? Now let me tell you something.

Is it normal for a baby not to shit for three days?

Within 24 hours after the birth of a new baby, he will eliminate the feces accumulated in the body for nine months. But at this time, the baby's intestinal function is not very strong, so the feces discharged each time are not very much. The feces accumulated for nine months can only be discharged in stages and batches, so the baby will change many times every day at the beginning.

The main source of nutrition for a baby who is not yet full moon is her mother's milk. Most of her milk is made up of some nutrients and a lot of water, so the baby urinates a lot. After the baby has eliminated the feces, there is basically nothing to metabolize. At this time, the frequency of defecation will be reduced, It's normal to even have one in four or five days.

However, it can not be ruled out that if the baby is inflamed, the stool will become dry and hard, which will not let the baby discharge the stool well, causing inconvenience to the baby for many days. To identify this situation, parents can touch the anus of the baby with their hands, and whether there will be hard things in the butt. If there are, it means that the baby is constipated, Mom and dad can cut the soap into small strips, and then gently put it into the baby's little butt to give the stool a lubrication effect, so that the stool can be easily discharged from the body.

matters needing attention

At ordinary times, lactating mothers should pay attention not to eat too stimulating food, especially hot pepper, which is easy to get angry. Otherwise, after eating the mother's milk, the baby is easy to get angry, causing constipation. In addition, they should pay attention to increase or decrease the clothes for the baby according to the temperature, and drink more boiled water for the baby, which can play the role of moistening the intestines.
