Doctor's answer:

Hello, your baby's constipation is generally related to drinking too little water, consuming too much milk, and low intestinal function. You can offer your child more honey water and feed them appropriate amounts of vegetable and fruit purees. If the constipation is severe, you can use an enema to spray inside the rectum to relieve bowel movement difficulties. Additionally, you can take Xiao'er Qi Zhen Wan to support the treatment of constipation. Wishing your baby healthy growth.
