How to deal with a baby who is nine months old and has difficulty defecating every time?

Patient's question:

The baby is nine months old. Every time they have a bowel movement, they are not smooth and need to use glycerin suppositories! Sometimes you can hear a sound coming from their stomach. They are breastfed! This has been happening for a month!

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it seems the baby may be experiencing some constipation. It is recommended to take probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal function. You can also gently massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction with your hands warmed by rubbing. This can promote gastrointestinal movement. Drink more warm water daily, avoid getting cold, and maintain a diet that is light and easy to digest. Avoid spicy, irritating, greasy, fried, and cold foods. If necessary, you can use glycerin suppositories and soap strips to relieve constipation.
