Is constipation in babies due to poor digestion?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please ask if constipation in babies is due to poor digestion?

Doctor's answer:

Mostly, it is due to dietary issues, where consuming foods that are considered "heating" or high in internal heat can lead to dry stools. Symptoms that accompany constipation include yellow urine, red tongue, and thirst. In this case, simply increasing fluid intake for the child and moderately consuming fruits like bananas or pears, or drinking some honey water or carrot juice, can help dissipate internal heat and normalize bowel movements.
