Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. What should I do if the baby is constipated?Doctor's answer:
Yes. First, you can use infant glycerin suppositories or soap sticks. But be gentle. Also, I recommend:1) Drink more water—make sure to drink more water. You can add a milk supplement to formula or water, one pack per day. Do not mix formula, breast milk, and calcium together; they should be spaced at least 2 hours apart. Otherwise, it may also cause constipation and affect the absorption of milk and calcium. Not only will it be ineffective, but it may also cause severe side effects.
2) For breastfed babies, mothers should adjust their diet. Eat lightly and drink more water.
3) Massage the baby’s abdomen in a clockwise direction, twice a day, for 5–10 minutes each time.
4) Eat more fruits and vegetable juices. The baby should not drink milk too quickly; you can dilute the formula slightly.
