Patient's question:
My baby is 2 years old this year. Since he was a child, he has been drinking milk and has always had constipation. He eats a lot of fruits and vegetables, and also drinks honey water and honeysuckle syrup. His bowel movements have always been dry, sometimes he doesn't have a bowel movement for four or five days. What is this symptom? Is it serious? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
You can massage your baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction every day and give your baby plenty of water. Eating cooked bananas every day can promote bowel movements and help with defecation. If your baby does not have a bowel movement after two days, you can use a soap stick to stimulate the rectum. Your mother's diet will directly affect the quality of breast milk. If the mother drinks protein-rich soups such as chicken tendon soup or chicken soup, the eggs in the milk will be directly affected. There will be too much protein, and after the baby eats it, the stool will be alkaline, appearing hard and dry, and difficult to discharge.
