Usually, babies who are born not long ago are very fragile and need careful care from their mothers. However, because babies are still very small, they often have various problems. For example, some babies may suffer from constipation. So let's find out what is the most effective way to deal with baby constipation? What causes baby constipation?

If a newborn baby has constipation, you should pay attention to giving the baby more water. If breastfeeding, the mother should also be careful not to eat spicy and irritating foods. She should eat more fruits and vegetables and drink more water. During this period, you can give the baby some Mommy Love to regulate it. This is a probiotic drug that can regulate the normal flora of the intestines and is used to treat constipation and bloating caused by indigestion. If you drink milk powder, you should drink more water between two milk powders. Generally speaking, if the baby has symptoms of constipation, you can use enema, use some pediatric enema for treatment, and you can take some intestinal probiotics orally for conditioning. In your daily diet, you must pay more attention to eating some light and easy-to-digest foods, and you can eat more vegetables with more dietary fiber, or you can take some medicines to strengthen the spleen and stomach orally. Usually, don't give your baby some spicy, cold, and irritating foods. You can massage your abdomen clockwise, which will also promote intestinal peristalsis. Drink more warm water or radish water.

1. Drinking less water. Many parents think that the milk their children drink is already very watery, and they are afraid that their children will always urinate, so they let their children drink less water. Some elderly people even do not give their children water between feedings. In this case, the child will get constipated, because the child's stomach is suitable for feeding, and can eat and run, and the stool is not particularly watery after feeding. However, anyone who does not drink water is prone to constipation.

2. There is excessive heat in the stomach and intestines. The physique of a baby is usually a bit excessive, but many elderly people do not know this and think that the baby will be very afraid of the cold, so they cover the baby with a lot of clothes. This makes the baby's stomach and intestines particularly prone to constipation.

3. Intestinal malformation. Some children are prone to constipation since childhood. This is because there are congenital problems with intestinal development, which is often called intestinal malformation in medicine. In this way, the baby will not defecate a lot each time, and slowly a lot of feces will accumulate in the intestines, and constipation will occur when they want to defecate.

Babies are not like adults. They can take medicine or eat fruits when they have dry stools. Children should not take medicine randomly. Dry stools may also be a dangerous signal of poor health of children, so the best way is to take your child to see a doctor.

The main manifestations of infant constipation are reduced bowel movements, dry stools, or difficulty in defecation. Some infants will experience loss of appetite, bitter taste in the mouth, abdominal distension, belching, and some will experience lower abdominal pain, which are mostly related to intestinal motility disorders and mental factors. Because the stool is dry and hard and sheep-dung-like, infants may have spasmodic pain in the lower abdomen or a feeling of falling, and a spasmodic sigmoid colon can be felt in the left lower abdomen. Constipation is very harmful to infants, and toxins in the body are difficult to excrete. Certain methods should be used to treat infant constipation.

Infants and young children with constipation should pay attention to the interval between bowel movements. If it exceeds three days, or the stool is hard and granular, a laxative can be used appropriately. Vaseline or some oily liquids can be used, or a cotton swab can be used to massage the child, or a hand with a finger cot can be used to massage around the child's anus, or even a cotton swab can be inserted slightly to stimulate the anus. If the above methods are ineffective, appropriate drug treatment can be used, such as Simo oral liquid or pediatric suppository to relieve constipation. Parents can massage the child's abdomen to enhance gastrointestinal motility. If constipation lasts too long, go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.
