Baby's bowel movements are an important basis for observing their absorption of dietary nutrients and their physical health status. The digestive system of young children is very sensitive to dietary components, and once dryness or indigestion occurs, constipation and pain are likely to occur. So, what should babies do if they are afraid of defecating?
1. Parents should guide their children to defecate properly and not let them develop a sense of responsibility for their own dirty and smelly stool. This can create a psychological impression that defecating is not likable. At the same time, parents should create a good defecation atmosphere for their babies, encourage them to defecate freely, and gradually alleviate their fear of defecating.
2. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fiber, or fruit puree made from fruits and vegetables, to relieve the pain caused by constipation in babies. If a baby experiences pain during bowel movements, parents can give them warm water to rinse their anus, relieve the pain caused by constipation, and increase their activity to avoid constipation.
3. During the early stages of a baby's life, try to place a small light in the bathroom at night and maintain the brightness of the bathroom at all times. At the same time, cultivate the habit of independent use of the toilet in babies, do not make them afraid of using the toilet alone, and avoid the psychological fear of entering the toilet.
