Babies can only grow well when they eat and drink normally and have normal bowel movements. Therefore, parents usually pay attention to their babies' bowel movements. If they find that their babies are constipated, they will inevitably feel worried. At this time, corresponding measures should be taken according to the reasons. So, what is the reason for babies' frequent constipation?
In general, frequent constipation in babies is related to the following reasons:
1. Insufficient food intake: If a baby eats too little for a long time, it may cause malnutrition. The baby's abdominal and intestinal muscles are relatively fragile and prone to weak peristalsis, which can lead to constipation.
2. Unbalanced diet: If a baby eats food that contains too much protein, too little waste, or too much calcified casein, it may lead to constipation.
3. Abnormal intestinal function: If the baby does not have a regular lifestyle or good habits of defecating on time, it is easy to experience intestinal muscle relaxation, which can also cause constipation.
4. Diseases: If a baby suffers from some diseases, such as anal fissures, constipation can also occur.
5. Genetics and constitution: If parents are prone to constipation in their daily lives, their babies may also frequently experience constipation, indicating that constipation in babies is related to genetics and personal constitution.
6. Living environment: If the baby's living environment suddenly changes, it may also lead to constipation.
