Patient's question:
My baby has been constipated for half a year, it's very serious. It's two to three days once, even if it's once a day, it's very dry, all granular, very painful.Doctor's answer:
Babies often suffer from constipation due to improper diet, so when a baby is constipated, mothers should not panic. They can try adjusting the baby's dietary habits and other methods to treat the constipation.Some infants are accustomed to defecating every 2-3 days. As long as the stool is not hard and there are no difficulties or discomfort, it is not considered constipation, and no treatment is necessary. For newborns and small infants who primarily consume milk, water, light salt water, or diluted vegetable juice should be given between feedings. Each time, 20-30 milliliters should be provided to alter the intestinal osmotic pressure and promote bowel movement.
