Generally, a baby's bowel movements are maintained at around two to three times a day. If the baby is fed formula milk, they will also have an average of once a day. If the frequency is less than this, it indicates that the baby is constipated and needs some treatment. So, what if a two-year-old baby hasn't defecated for a few days?
1. When a baby doesn't defecate for a few days, parents need to observe whether their appetite is abnormal. If the baby's appetite decreases, their frequency of defecation will also decrease, such as hawthorn, vegetables, etc. These foods can help the baby's intestinal peristalsis and accelerate bowel movements.
2. Bananas and apples also have good bowel movements. When babies are not defecating, mothers can give them these fruits to eat. These fruits can lubricate the baby's intestines, allowing them to defecate quickly and prevent any abnormalities that may affect their development.
3. Babies need to be fed water by their mothers when they wake up on an empty stomach in the morning. Water can quickly remove toxins and waste from their bodies, as well as wash away waste from their intestines. If the baby's condition does not improve, they can be given honey water to drink. Generally, after a few days of persistence, the baby's condition will be relieved.
4. In daily life, mothers should also pay attention to giving their babies more fruits, vegetables, and water to prevent constipation.
