Under normal circumstances, our body defecates approximately once to twice a day, and defecation is a normal physiological process in which our body excretes waste and excess inorganic salts from the body. And some babies may have some problems with defecation, such as constantly defecating. So what if the baby keeps defecating?
What should I do if my baby keeps defecating
Babies who constantly defecate are mostly caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction, and the most important thing is to make appropriate adjustments in feeding. They should adopt a small and multiple feeding method, eat more fiber rich foods, vegetables, and fruits, and develop the habit of defecating once a day. Watermelon, cantaloupe, and other foods are rich in fiber and have a lot of water, which is a good choice for children who have difficulty defecating.
In addition, it is necessary to massage the child's abdomen. First, rub both hands together and massage them in a clockwise direction with the navel as the center, rotating in circles from bottom to top. This method is quite effective, as it can significantly promote intestinal peristalsis, improve gastrointestinal function, and make the child fart.
What should I do if my baby doesn't defecate
For some babies who frequently do not defecate, parents can train them appropriately to have regular bowel movements. Under normal circumstances, babies should receive regular training on bowel habits at the age of 100 days, and experienced individuals can also be hired to assist. The general method of training is to have the baby sit in the basin at a fixed time after breastfeeding every morning. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the indoor temperature and the comfort of the toilet bowl to prevent the baby from catching a cold, and even if the temperature is not suitable, it may cause the baby to become bored or uncomfortable with sitting in the basin.
Actually, defecation is closely related to our physical health. If defecation is irregular, it is basically caused by some diseases or hormonal imbalances in the body. In this regard, babies are just like adults. In addition, it is normal for babies to have more bowel movements than adults, so mothers don't need to worry too much.
