Patient's question:
The baby is nine months old and has very dry and hard bowel movements. Sometimes when they strain, it makes a rolling sound. This has been going on for a month. They are also taking probiotics, but the baby doesn't like to drink water and doesn't drink much.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, the main considerations for your baby are poor dietary habits (not drinking enough water) and weakened gastrointestinal motility leading to constipation! It is recommended that you do not panic. Make sure to give your baby more vegetable and fruit purees, and encourage them to drink more water. Currently, using probiotics or probiotic supplements for a few days can help. Gently massage the abdomen before bed to enhance gastrointestinal motility!The above advice is for the issue of "Baby is constipated with very dry and hard stools at nine months." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
