Solutions for infant constipation Massage techniques for infant constipation

Newborn babies usually have very fragile stomachs, and some inexperienced mothers will be very nervous when encountering this situation. But in fact, as long as it is handled properly, the baby will recover quickly. So what is the solution to infant constipation? What are the massage techniques for infant constipation?

Because the gastrointestinal function of infants is not yet fully developed, they are very prone to digestive problems. Constipation is one of the most common symptoms, and in most cases it is closely related to diet. For babies who have not added complementary foods, constipation can be regulated by medication, and probiotics can be taken orally to regulate the intestinal microecological environment, which helps promote digestion and improve stool characteristics. For babies who have already added complementary foods, try to feed the baby more foods containing crude fiber, and give the baby more water. At the same time, you can give the baby more bananas, dragon fruit, pumpkin and other foods. The mother can also give the baby more lower abdominal massage exercises and active activities, which can help promote intestinal peristalsis and relieve constipation. If breastfeeding, the mother's diet should be light and easy to digest, and avoid eating too much greasy food.

If your baby is constipated, you can use the method of clearing the large intestine. The massage position for clearing the large intestine is 30 to 50 times, and the radial side of the index finger is in a straight line from the index finger to the base of the thumb. Hold the child's palm with one hand to expose the radial edge, and then use the spiral surface of the thumb of the other hand to push from the base of the child's palm to the tip of the index finger. This method can clean the intestines and abdomen, remove dampness and heat, and treat food accumulation. Another massage method is to push the six internal organs 100 to 500 times. The six internal organs are located in a straight line between the elbow and wrist on the ulnar side of the forearm. Hold the child's wrist with one hand and apply force, and use the spiral surface of the thumb and index and middle fingers of the other hand to push from the child's elbow to the wrist. This method can clear heat, cool blood, detoxify, and prevent high fever and constipation.

In clinical practice, baby constipation and blood in the stool are most likely caused by anal fissures and hemorrhoids. It is best to take the baby to the hospital for treatment and complete anorectal digital examination and other related auxiliary examinations to clarify the cause of blood in the stool. If the blood in the stool is caused by constipation, pay attention to relieving the symptoms of constipation and eat a light and digestive diet. Drug treatment can use relatively safe drugs, such as intestinal probiotics that regulate intestinal flora imbalance and intestinal dysfunction, drugs that improve gastrointestinal function, promote gastrointestinal motility, and drugs that moisturize the intestines and laxatives, etc. If necessary, enema or soapy water enema can be given to quickly discharge stool and relieve the symptoms of constipation.

The baby's constipation and bleeding is due to the dry stool, which leads to anal rupture and bleeding. The following treatments are required: 1. Apply erythromycin ointment or softening and anti-inflammatory plaster to the perianal ruptures. You can also use ointments such as Bactroban, which are commonly used clinically without hormones. 2. Immediately soften the stool, take lactulose oral solution orally, and use comprehensive treatment with gastrointestinal adjustment drugs such as Mommy Love. 3. Solve the problem of child constipation as soon as possible. In addition to oral medications, give massage and massage therapy to relieve constipation. At the same time, acupuncture or clockwise abdominal massage at the Shenque point can be given, which is conducive to intestinal peristalsis and relieve constipation, thereby avoiding repeated constipation, dry stools, and bleeding.
