Patient's question:
Baby hasn't been eating well these days, often with a bloated stomach, and doesn't feel hungry either. The main issue is that they haven't had a bowel movement for three or four days. I'd like to ask what works best for infant constipation?Doctor's answer:
Eat more fruits and vegetables. Pay attention to increasing your child's intake of rough fiber foods during the day, while also encouraging them to exercise more, drink more water, and develop the habit of regular bowel movements. Consuming more fruits, vegetables, and other foods can help. Constipation in children is mainly due to insufficient dietary fiber intake. Many children do not like eating vegetables, which can lead to slow gastrointestinal motility and poor digestion. This causes food residue to stay in the intestines for too long, resulting in constipation.
