Patient's question:
A 7-month-old baby has dry bowel movements, but they defecate every day, and the amount of stool is not very small. Currently, the baby is eating a variety of complementary foods and consuming a significant amount, but they are drinking very little formula milk, only twice a day. Is the dry bowel movement related to eating too many complementary foods and drinking less formula milk? Is it serious? What should be done? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, baby constipation is generally related to insufficient water intake, excessive milk consumption, and low intestinal function. You can feed the child more honey water, and give appropriate amounts of vegetable and fruit purees. If the constipation is severe, you can use suppositories to relieve bowel movement difficulties. Additionally, you can take Xiao'er Qi Zhen Wan to support the treatment of constipation. Wishing your baby healthy growth. There are many factors that can cause pediatric digestive diseases.
