When taking care of a baby, the biggest concern for parents is that the baby gets sick. Every time the baby gets sick, it's either uncomfortable here or there, and parents also suffer a lot. They can't sleep well at night and need to take care of the baby during the day. However, babies are also prone to getting sick during infancy, especially some minor illnesses. So, what should we do if a fifteen month old baby gets constipated?
1. Babies who drink formula are more likely to experience constipation, while babies who drink breast milk are less likely to experience it. Therefore, sticking to breast milk is very beneficial. For 15 month old babies who experience constipation, dietary therapy can be used, mainly to lubricate their intestines and promote bowel movements. They can be given some hawthorn juice, tomato juice, red date water, and honey water.
2. If the baby has constipation, it needs to stimulate the baby's gastrointestinal peristalsis. Fifteen babies can eat a lot of complementary food. Let the baby eat some food that is easy to digest. Congee and noodles are suitable. You can also eat some coarse grains. Pay attention to supplementing nutrition for the baby. When the nutrition is enough, the baby will naturally pass the bowels slowly.
3. It is possible to exercise the baby to defecate, which requires a period of training to develop the habit of defecating every day. You can hold the stool after waking up every morning, or sit the baby on a small toilet to develop the habit of defecating once a day. This way, the baby will gradually avoid constipation.
