Question: Dear Doctor,
My baby is 6 months++ old. He started solid food 2 weeks ago. He drinks formula milk during day time and I will breastfeed him at night. He has no bowel movement for 5 days now, but he is fine (no fever, tummy is soft, active, eat normally and happy). He also urinate, farts and sleeps well. Is this normal? (Nonie)
Answer: Hi Nonie, If your child is well and is drinking eating as usual – my question is- prior to this, how was his bowel habits? Is his stool soft or is it hard? Any history of straining at stool? If he is as u described, and the stool is soft, it is not worrying.
