Due to the baby's weak body, their digestive function is not very good, often resulting in diarrhea or very dry stool. Dry stool can be particularly painful for babies, and mothers are eager to take their babies to the hospital for treatment. In fact, these situations can be avoided in daily life. What should a 14 month old baby eat when their stool is dry?
Firstly, babies should be fed some vegetable puree and fruit puree, with a ratio of at least 3:1 between the amount of vegetables and fruits they eat and the amount of meat they eat. For infants who do not like vegetables, mothers can cut vegetables and put them together to make small dumplings, or use these vegetables to cook Congee or noodles to increase the consumption of vegetables. Encourage your baby to drink plenty of water regularly. If your baby doesn't like plain water, you can add some juice to the water, but don't use cola, Sprite, or other beverages as a substitute.
Secondly, babies who are accustomed to drinking a glass of water in the morning and then defecating generally do not have the trouble of dry stools, which indicates that it is necessary to cultivate good living habits for babies. Encourage your baby to regularly go to the bathroom at a fixed time every day to defecate. Parents can tell their baby stories about defecation at the door, and try to choose leisure time to let their child defecate and develop good habits of defecation.
Finally, many infants over the age of one begin to consume formula milk powder. Formula milk powder is made from milk and contains various nutrients. Some babies' stomachs are not suitable for certain milk powder, so after drinking a certain brand of milk powder, they may experience dry stools. This is related to the physical condition of each baby. For example, some babies may not be suitable for foreign brands of milk powder, but drinking domestic brands of milk powder is not a problem. Therefore, parents can try switching their babies to other brands of milk powder.
