Patient's question:
Child is 18 months old, has very dry bowel movements, sometimes doesn't have a bowel movement for three days. The longest time was once a week when they had to go to the hospital and the doctor gave them an enema to finally solve it. I want to ask what foods are good for infant constipation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in general, this kind of situation in children is usually caused by constipation. This is often related to dietary habits. It's a good idea to give children more vegetables and fruits, and encourage them to drink more water. The diet should not be too refined or monotonous. Avoid relying solely on meat. It's also beneficial to include some coarse grains and high-fiber foods. Additionally, consider taking probiotics to help regulate the intestines.
