Abstract

Bowel movements of some of the infants, who are exclusively fed with breast milk, may be delayed for two days or longer. This clinical picture is resolved by shifting to supplementary food at six months The frequency of the stools increases when solid food is introduced to the diet. This phenomenon observed in babies who are feeding and growing properly, having soft stool with no abdominal distension is called pseudoconstipation or infrequent stools. It is important to promote awareness among paediatricians on this extremely normal condition in order to prevent false diagnoses and unnecessary treatments. Here, we aimed to present a case and emphasize the appropriate approach to these babies.

Özet

Yalnızca anne sütü ile beslenen bazı bebeklerde dışkılamada iki gün veya daha uzun süreli gecikmeler olabilmektedir. Bu tablo altıncı ayda ek gıdaya geçilmesi ile düzelmektedir. İyi beslenen, yeterince kilo alan, karın şişliği oluşmayan ve dışkı kıvamı normal olan sütçocuklarında bu durum yalancı kabızlık veya seyrek dışkılama olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Bu konuda çocuk hekimlerinde farkındalığın artırılması yanlış ve gereksiz tedavilerin engellenmesi açısından önemlidir. Burada bir olgu sunumu eşliğinde yalancı kabızlığa doğru yaklaşımın nasıl olması gerektiğini vurgulamayı amaçladık.
