Patient's question:
In the past 7 months, recently for the past month, I haven't had a bowel movement for 2-3 days. The last two times, I used infant glycerin suppositories. On February 18th, I went to the hospital and used bifidobacteria. After that, it was every other day, but from March 1st to today, I still haven't had a bowel movement. The complementary feeding for breastfeeding is rice...Doctor's answer:
The main cause is related to the baby's diet. For example, for artificially fed infants, if parents do not provide fiber-rich complementary foods in a timely manner, the baby's stool may become dry and difficult to pass.Suggestions:
1. Breastfeeding. Breast milk mainly contains casein, which is easy to digest and absorb, so breastfed infants have softer stools.
2. Cultivate the child's habit of regular bowel movements. Parents should cultivate the habit of regular bowel movements in the child, while ensuring the child consumes a certain amount of water and fresh vegetables rich in fiber daily, which helps maintain smooth bowel movements.
The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my 7-month-old baby is constipated?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
