Question
The baby is still quite young, but has been constipated for several days now, and also has vomiting episodes. I would like to know how to handle a newborn’s constipation?
Answer
You can give the baby some probiotics to nourish the gastrointestinal function and alleviate constipation, serving them with warm water after changing diapers. Additionally, it is recommended to give the baby an abdominal massage, focusing on the navel as the center and gently massaging the abdomen in a clockwise direction. Perform this for about five minutes each time, and doing it multiple times a day can be very effective. Moreover, the patient should maintain a regular lifestyle, take good cold prevention measures, have a diet rich in light, soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to ensure that the condition does not recur.
