What foods can babies eat in winter to promote bowel movement and moisten intestines?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Babies who suffer from frequent constipation can be given honey water to drink every morning. Honey has the effects of moistening the lungs, tonifying the middle jiao, lubricating dryness, promoting bowel movement, clearing heat, and detoxifying, making it effective for relieving constipation. Each serving of honey water should not be less than 60 milliliters, as a smaller amount will be ineffective. The effect is better when honey is mixed with warm water.
Babies under one year old should not consume honey.
Bananas are also a good food for treating pediatric constipation. Eating one or two bananas can help moisten the intestines and promote bowel movement in the short term. If the above methods are ineffective, a bar of soap can be cut into strips and inserted into the rectum to stimulate the rectum. Alternatively, a rectal thermometer coated with oil can be gently rotated in the rectum to stimulate the rectal wall, which may induce the urge to defecate and achieve the purpose of relieving constipation.
