The biliary tract regulates the flow of digestive juices between the gallbladder (an organ that helps in digestion), the tubes in the liver that connect to the gallbladder, called the bile ducts, and the small intestine. When everything operates normally, babies start digesting food and having healthy bowel movements soon after birth.
