Patient's question:
My baby eats a lot, but now he has fewer bowel movements. Sometimes it's every two days, sometimes every three days. The stool isn't dry, but he strains when he goes, and sometimes it's even four days without a bowel movement. What can a mother eat to improve her newborn's constipation and help them have a bowel movement?Doctor's answer:
The child should be on fire. If the infant is breastfed, the mother can eat lighter. Drink more soup. If the baby is drinking formula, you can give the baby some water appropriately. If it's serious, add formula companion when drinking formula. Pay attention to certain humidity indoors. Keep the child warm. Eat probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal tract. If it's inconvenient for too many days, try using a soap bar to insert water 1 cm into the baby's buttocks several times. This can help. Relieve constipation. Rubbing the child's stomach regularly can help the large intestine move and also aid in defecation.
