Constipation is not unfamiliar to many people. In fact, constipation is a symptom that occurs from time to time in our daily lives, so it is not surprising for adults. However, for an eight month old baby, many parents will be very nervous and take it seriously. So, can an eight month old baby eat apples for constipation?
Babies with constipation can eat apples because they contain fiber, which can soften the feces in the large intestine. After consumption, it can moisturize the intestines, promote bowel movements, regulate gastrointestinal function, facilitate bowel movements, and alleviate symptoms of constipation. In addition, apples contain rich organic acids that can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, and the pectin contained in apples can effectively regulate gastrointestinal function, so babies can eat apples during constipation.
Babies can also eat foods such as bananas, dragon fruit, tomatoes, etc. Babies with constipation can also receive abdominal massage 3-5 times a day for 15 minutes each time. Avoid eating too sweet foods and do not add complementary foods. Constipation in babies is often caused by indigestion. Taking probiotics can improve the intestinal microbiota, create a hypoxic environment in the intestines, promote the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria, and secrete various digestive enzymes to enhance intestinal digestion and absorption function, restore normal intestinal peristalsis, and relieve constipation symptoms in babies.
