Patient's question:
The child is 6 months old, drinking formula milk. Since birth, their bowel movements have not been good. Sometimes they don't have a bowel movement for two or three days. The stool is granular, dry, and hard. The baby struggles when having a bowel movement. I heard that probiotics are good for children with constipation. Could you please tell me what types of probiotics are suitable for children with constipation?Doctor's answer:
You can eat SunChew Probiotics or Neways Probiotics. Supplementing with probiotics can help regulate the balance of intestinal flora in babies, produce organic acids, lower the pH of the intestines, inhibit the growth of putrefactive bacteria (Escherichia coli, Clostridium botulinum), adjust the intestinal flora, and effectively improve symptoms such as infantile diarrhea, constipation, picky eating, and poor appetite. Additionally, you can use Glycerin Suppositories or soap sticks to moisten the rectum and promote bowel movement, but the movements must be gentle to prevent intestinal injury.
