Patient's question:
I saw in a mom group earlier that if a baby is constipated and unable to pass stool, probiotics can be given to the baby. I forgot what brand of probiotics the mom was talking about at the time. I'd like to ask what kind of probiotics should be given to a baby who is constipated and unable to pass stool?Doctor's answer:
Eating probiotics is important for babies to remember that it is safe and beneficial. To give probiotics to your baby, it is necessary to choose a special food for them. You can go to a baby store to check. Then, you must give your baby a lot of water regularly, and you need to massage her stomach more often. Babies have weak spleens and stomachs, and their digestive systems are not fully developed. A diet high in protein and low in fiber can easily lead to constipation. It is recommended that parents maintain a balanced diet for their babies, drink more warm water, eat more fruits and vegetables, supplement fiber, avoid overeating, develop good eating habits, and exercise more.
