Patient's question:
My baby is three and a half months old. Recently, she has been constipated for about half a month and needs to use glycerin suppositories every time to have a bowel movement. Could you please ask the expert if there will be any side effects if she takes the whole intestine? Thank youDoctor's answer:
The best thing for a baby who is three and a half months old is to be breastfed. In your diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and the baby will naturally get better. The main reason for the baby's constipation is that what you eat is too "hot." If you are not breastfeeding, then the purity of the milk is too high—add more water. Feed some fruit puree daily, and it will be fine. This is because adding water to the milk can reduce its purity, and eating fruit puree can also reduce the "hotness" of the milk.
