How to deal with constipation in a 1.5-year-old baby? Urgent, urgent, urgent

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, constipation may be caused by insufficient food intake, a lack of dietary fiber, or inadequate water consumption, which reduces stimulation to the colon's movement. It is recommended that you encourage your child to drink more water and consume more high-fiber vegetables, such as celery, chives, etc. Spinach and cabbage are also good options, as they contain a high amount of folic acid and have a beneficial effect on relieving constipation.
You can also perform clockwise abdominal massages on your child, which can also help alleviate constipation.
