If a baby experiences constipation in daily life, it is necessary for parents to adjust their diet and develop a good habit of regular bowel movements in order to ensure normal bowel movements. There are also many ways to improve the baby's constipation situation. So, what should be done for baby constipation?
The first step is to adjust the baby's diet. If babies aged 1-3 are still breastfeeding, constipation will only occur if there is insufficient breastfeeding. Therefore, mothers must increase the amount of breastfeeding for their babies. Artificially fed babies may experience constipation and require more hydration. They can also eat more dark green vegetables.
Develop a good habit of regular bowel movements for the baby. To cultivate the good habit of regular bowel movements for babies aged 1-3, parents must start training from three to four months old. So, parents must exercise their babies after they finish milk to help them develop mutations and establish a conditioned reflex for bowel movements in their large intestine.
The third step is to give the baby an abdominal massage. If a baby has constipation, mothers can promote intestinal peristalsis, absorption, and digestion by massaging the abdomen, which can also cause mutations in the baby and promote quick bowel movements. When massaging the abdomen, you can massage in a clockwise direction, and you can also massage the baby's anal opening appropriately.
