After a baby is born, various unexpected problems may arise, and many new mothers are helpless in the face of these problems. Watching their baby suffer from various problems can only be endless heartache, wishing they could bear the pain for their baby.

Under normal circumstances, it takes about a week for a baby's anus to recover after it cracks open. To help the baby recover quickly, it is recommended to apply some anti-inflammatory medication to the baby. Because most cases of baby's anus cracking are caused by constipation, it is important to prevent constipation in babies by providing them with fresh fruits and vegetables and avoiding eating too much fried food. If the baby is breastfeeding, the mother should pay attention to these details in their diet.
How to prevent constipation in babies
To prevent constipation in babies, in addition to paying attention to their diet, it is also necessary to train them to develop good bowel habits from an early age. If the baby is eating formula, it is necessary to add enough water to the baby during each drink.
Constipation in babies not only causes the phenomenon of anal opening, but also may result in the inability to defecate in a timely manner, causing the baby's digestive waste to be unable to be discharged from the body in a timely manner, thereby affecting the baby's food intake.
