Gastrointestinal problems are a common disease in daily life, and even a slight irregularity in diet can easily cause diarrhea, constipation, and so on. Children's gastrointestinal function is not fully developed yet, and constipation often occurs due to changing formula or eating the wrong food. So, what should children eat for constipation?
Parents should not be too nervous when their baby is constipated, as it can easily bring negative emotions to the baby. Constipation itself is a very painful thing, so it is important to approach the baby's bowel movements with a calm mindset. When constipated, consider whether the baby is suffering from internal heat. At this time, it is important to give the baby warm water and eat some fruits to aid digestion, such as bananas and dragon fruit, which are good for helping with bowel movements.
When a baby is constipated, they may have difficulty defecating. They may use a lot of effort to pour the poop, but it has no effect. At this time, you can help massage the baby's stomach, rub your hands hot, and apply some moisturizing oil. Massage the baby's stomach clockwise, but avoid the belly button. If it's difficult for the baby to make poop, you can also cut it into strips with soap to stimulate the baby's anus. A similar method is to dip a cotton swab in olive oil and apply it near the anus, but it is important to note that this method should not be used frequently as it can cause the baby to become dependent.
When changing formula, it is also easy for babies to experience constipation, so it is important to correctly grasp the method of changing formula. When changing formula, constantly monitor the baby's condition, replenish water, add some probiotics appropriately, and regulate the gastrointestinal tract.
