Constipation in babies is a common condition, as their digestive system is immature and they are young, making them susceptible to illness. So what should I do if my 34 month old baby suffers from constipation?
1. The baby is young and not very receptive to medication, so massaging the baby's belly can alleviate the condition. Mothers can massage their baby's abdomen appropriately, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and facilitate bowel movements. In addition, if the baby's bowel movements are not smooth, they can drink a little hot water to soften their stool and relieve symptoms of constipation. If the baby's constipation is severe, some laxatives can be used to alleviate the condition.
2. Babies with severe constipation should go to the hospital for examination and receive targeted treatment according to the doctor's advice. Probiotics can regulate the body's digestive function, and drinking some probiotics can relieve constipation or diarrhea in babies. Constipation in babies may be caused by improper diet or spleen and stomach deficiency. At 34 months old, babies can add some complementary foods appropriately. Mothers can add some coarse fiber foods or fruits and vegetables to their baby's complementary foods. Mothers should feed their babies with balanced nutrition for healthy growth.
3. Mothers should avoid their babies getting cold in the abdomen and pay attention to keeping warm. At the same time, it is necessary to encourage the baby to develop good habits of defecation every day and eliminate the fear of defecation. Mothers should always pay attention to the mental state of their babies and promptly investigate the cause if they are feeling a bit lethargic.
