When babies are around two years old, they generally do not need to breastfeed. Some formula milk with complementary foods is sufficient. Older babies can supplement the necessary nutrients through a normal diet. My baby is two years old and often doesn't defecate, which is a headache. What should I do if my two-year-old baby doesn't defecate.?
1. Observation
If the baby often suffers from constipation and their stool is very dry, hard, or difficult to defecate, parents must calm down first and not worry. If the baby has no reaction and eating and drinking are not affected, then continue to observe. As long as the baby is not in a bad state, give them more water and choose a light diet for feeding. This gradual adjustment can improve the baby's constipation problem.
2. Feed water
If a baby cannot defecate, it is recommended to encourage them to drink warm water, especially after waking up in the morning. Drinking a large glass of warm water for a few days can easily alleviate constipation. Warm water can dilute feces, making dry feces easier to excrete from the body.
3. Dietary therapy
Babies don't like to shit, and it's very difficult to do so, so we should pay attention to less meat or high protein food for them. We might as well give them some millet porridge or other cereals to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and relieve their constipation.
4. Feed the fruit
Encourage children to eat more fruits. For babies with severe constipation, they can eat kiwi fruit on an empty stomach. This small method can help alleviate constipation in babies.
