Many mothers are particularly concerned about their babies' diet because they must add complementary foods after a certain month, otherwise the body's nutritional content will not be able to keep up. When the body lacks vitamins, it will be troublesome, so there is no other way. So, what should babies do if they become constipated by adding complementary foods?
Many babies may experience varying degrees of constipation when they start eating complementary foods prepared by their mothers at the beginning. It takes time for the digestive system to transition from the initial broth to solid substances, and for the digestive system to adapt. There can be some regularity when adding complementary foods, such as adding more vegetables and fruits, which will gradually return to normal. At least these are much more helpful for digestion, and if the stool is still soft, there is no problem.
Constipation is quite common in many babies, and it's not just about not defecating, but also about observing the shape of the stool. Because some babies may have a habit of defecating slowly, but their bowel movements are still normal each time, not particularly dry and giving a hard feeling. This is not considered constipation, it can only be said that the digestion of the gastrointestinal tract is relatively slow. When preparing food for your baby, make sure to make it into a paste and have more vegetables to help with digestion.
Preparing complementary foods for babies is quite troublesome, but this state cannot last for a long time. When the baby's digestive system improves, they won't have to go through so much trouble. Then they can eat on their own or with adults, as long as they get through this difficult period.
