The main ways to feed a two month old baby are pure breastfeeding and mixed feeding. For families with conditions, pure breastfeeding is the first choice, but for many mothers who have to work or have insufficient breast milk, mixed feeding can only be chosen. So, now let's take a look at how to deal with constipation in a two month old baby who is being fed a mixed diet?
If a child with mixed feeding experiences constipation, the mother must first pay attention to drinking plenty of water and supplementing with fresh fruits and vegetables. Then, choose a formula that is suitable for the baby to drink, and after giving the baby formula, be sure to replenish water in a timely manner. Most newborns are more likely to experience constipation when fed with formula milk. When the situation is serious, you can consider using some probiotics.
At the same time, massage the baby's abdomen more and add a small amount of water appropriately. In addition, developing a habit of regular bowel movements for babies every day and letting them cry and fuss appropriately can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, aid digestion, and facilitate bowel movements. As the baby grows and complementary foods are added, the gastrointestinal function gradually develops and matures, and constipation will gradually improve. It is recommended not to use glycerin or laxatives for babies. Otherwise, it may cause reflex constipation in infants. Be careful not to give the baby too thick milk powder to drink. Don't eat too much food at once. Baby mothers should avoid eating spicy, greasy, and stimulating foods. If there is no relief, they can seek medical attention at the hospital.
