As the baby grows up slowly, after one year old, their diet gradually becomes more diversified, and there will be more types of food available. However, some babies may experience constipation during this period. This is not conducive to the healthy development of babies, so what should we do if a 16 month old baby suffers from constipation?
1. If a baby who is about a week and a half frequently experiences constipation, it is mostly due to problems with their diet structure. Improper dietary combinations can easily cause constipation in the baby. In response to this situation, adding vegetable juice, fruit juice, etc. to the baby's diet can reduce constipation.
2. You can buy some baby honey and mix it with warm water to make honey water for the baby to drink. Once a day is sufficient. Honey water can moisturize the intestines, promote bowel movements, and effectively improve constipation in babies.
3. Try to let your baby eat some fruits every day, such as dragon fruit, bananas, apples, oranges, etc. These fruits can also alleviate the symptoms of dry intestines, replenish intestinal fluid, and reduce constipation.
4. When a baby frequently experiences constipation, it is important to encourage them to eat coarse grains such as oats and sweet potatoes, and to avoid excessive intake of high protein and high calorie foods in their daily diet. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of water.
