Abnormal bowel movements are common in babies when they are young, as gastrointestinal function needs to be gradually improved. Improper diet can lead to indigestion and difficulty in defecation. Babies with difficulty defecating are very painful, and their appetite can also be affected by it. So what should babies do if they have difficulty defecating?
1. Regulate the gastrointestinal tract. If a baby experiences pressure in their digestive system, they will have difficulty defecating. It is recommended to reduce the amount of milk consumed by the baby first. If the baby adds complementary foods, the intake of complementary foods should also be reduced to allow the baby's digestive system to fully rest. Give your baby a small amount of multiple meals, so that their digestive system can gradually improve.
2. Dietary regulation. Give your baby some food that is easy to digest, such as Congee soup, and drink more water. Eating coarse grains can increase the volume of feces and be helpful for babies' bowel movements. Eating some bananas and drinking some honey water can moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, which is helpful for the body's recovery.
3. Medication treatment. If a baby has difficulty defecating, it can lead to a decrease in appetite, making it difficult for their nutrition to be replenished and their physical condition to deteriorate. It is recommended to see a doctor and take some medication to treat the baby's illness, so that the baby can gradually recover. Parents need to train their babies' awareness of defecation and encourage them to defecate on time, which can cultivate their ability to defecate on time and be helpful for their children.
