How to deal with a 9-month-old baby who cannot defecate?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation is usually related to constipation. In children, constipation is often caused by dietary issues. Many parents focus solely on increasing their children's nutrition, resulting in high protein content in their food while vegetables are consumed less frequently. This lack of dietary fiber and residue-rich foods can easily lead to constipation.
For infants and young children, a balanced diet not only helps prevent constipation but also provides effective treatment for it. The ratio of fish, meat, eggs, and grains in the diet should be appropriate. Encouraging the consumption of more vegetables and fruits is beneficial. Children can also be given foods made from cornmeal and rice flour. It is important to train children to develop the habit of defecating at regular times.
