What should I do if my baby is picking up feces and urine1

  For babies under one year old, due to their underdeveloped brain and nervous system, their ability to inhibit the basic urination center is weak, and the urethral sphincter and anal sphincter that control defecation and urination are not yet fully developed. Because they cannot control themselves, they are prone to frequent urinary retention. However, as the baby grows up, their self-control ability will gradually improve, and this situation will be improved. At this stage, it is recommended to give the baby diapers to solve the problem.

  After one year old, the baby has learned to walk and squat, and has some language expression ability. At this time, the mother can train the baby to use the toilet to urinate and defecate. When the baby can urinate and defecate on their own, it can solve the problem of constipation. However, as the baby grows, the problem of constipation has not improved. Therefore, the mother should pay attention to it and take the baby to the hospital for examination. Once the cause is diagnosed, treatment should be given as soon as possible.

  In fact, mothers should pay more attention to their babies' diet in daily life, allowing them to eat easily digestible and absorbable foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. Foods with high fiber content can help promote the peristalsis of the baby's gastrointestinal tract, reduce the time when feces stagnate in the intestines, and ensure smooth bowel movements. At the same time, mothers can massage the baby's abdomen in the morning and evening or let the baby move around more, which can ensure the normal digestive function of the baby's gastrointestinal tract.
