What kind of assistance do you need: Hello...
Doctor's answer:
Your baby can drink honey with warm water to relieve constipation. This method can help treat constipation.Suggestions for comprehensive prevention and treatment of pediatric constipation: The first and most important thing for parents to pay attention to is proper guidance. Before the baby defecates, give signals, and maintain a relatively fixed time each day to gradually help them establish a regular bowel movement schedule. If the child does not defecate, it is absolutely not advisable to force it, nor should they be forced to sit on the toilet for a long time.
In terms of diet, appropriate amounts of refined foods, vegetables, sweet potatoes, fruits, etc., should be provided. For children who frequently experience constipation, in addition to training their bowel habits, medications that promote intestinal motility and lubricate the intestines can also be given at intervals.
Massage: Lie on your back with your legs slightly bent, and place a pillow under your knees. Massage your abdomen in a circular motion, with both hands overlapping. Start from the lower right abdomen, push upward to the right ribs, then cross the abdomen above the navel to the left lower abdomen. Perform deep, slow kneading in this area, then return to the starting point and complete several circles. After massaging the abdomen, sit up.
