Question
Lately, the baby has been crying, refusing to breastfeed, and having restless sleep. At the same time, there is difficulty in defecation, abdominal bloating, and a dislike for drinking water. How can I prevent baby constipation?
Answer
Hello. For babies suffering from constipation, it’s important to adjust their dietary structure. You can give the baby more warm water, vegetables, and fruits rich in vitamins. The formula milk can be appropriately diluted. Additionally, introducing some cooling foods, such as milk partners, can be beneficial. You can have about 2-3 packets a day. If the constipation is severe, please take the baby to a local clinic for a check-up. Moreover, you can massage the baby’s abdomen 1-2 times a day in a clockwise direction to aid defecation.
