Patient's question:
At nine months, the baby eats probiotics and has normal bowel movements. When not eating probiotics, the baby has hard stools and struggles with urination. However, the probiotics prescribed by the hospital are medicinal and cannot be overconsumed. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description of your child's bowel movements, it is likely more related to your child's gastrointestinal function and the types of complementary foods provided. Regarding your child's current bowel movement condition, I suggest that you should not take medication frequently and instead try to adjust the complementary foods, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables appropriately, drink more water, and perform abdominal massage to promote intestinal peristalsis to prevent constipation.
