Doctor's answer:

Hello, your baby's constipation is generally related to insufficient water intake, excessive milk consumption, and low intestinal function. You can offer your child more honey water, and feed them appropriate amounts of vegetable and fruit purees. If the constipation is severe, you can use an enema 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.
