Patient's question:
I am a 28-year-old woman who recently noticed that her child is not feeling well. After a check-up, it was discovered that she actually has an illness. Please ask: What should I do about my baby's constipation?Doctor's answer:
1. First, let the baby lie down comfortably on their back. Use one hand to gently slide from the upper abdomen, below the baby's ribs, down to the legs. With the other hand, use the same technique and alternate. Gradually increase the pressure based on the baby's tolerance.2. Next, place both thumbs on either side of the navel. Slide outward from the center in parallel lines, applying slow, gentle, and circular pressure to relieve the baby's gas and constipation.
3. Circular massage: Then, on the upper part of the baby's abdomen, slowly draw half-circles in a clockwise direction. With the right hand, use the same technique to draw full circles. Alternate between both hands in a continuous, interlaced manner for several rounds. Of course, the baby can also receive more massage and gentle exercise.
