Patient's question:
Recently, my baby has constipation. I don't know what to feed the baby? Can infants with constipation eat bananas? What are the precautions?Doctor's answer:
The main approach to treating pediatric constipation should still be based on dietary adjustments. It's important to try to diversify the diet, encouraging children to eat more fruits, vegetables, and other foods rich in dietary fiber. Lastly, pay attention to hydration. Drink a cup of warm water half an hour before each meal, especially after going to bed in the morning and before meals, as this can help promote bowel movement. For children who still suffer from constipation despite dietary adjustments, appropriate medication can be taken. Eating bananas is also acceptable.
