Question
My baby is now 20 months old and is primarily bottle-fed due to poor breast milk. After 100 days, I switched from simply feeding formula to a diet-based approach with formula as a supplement, and the baby eats quite a lot of fruits and vegetables. However, the baby has been experiencing severe constipation. Could you please provide some guidance and advice? Thank you!!!
Answer
My child is just three months old and has been experiencing constipation with bowel movements every two to three days. The doctor at the hospital said it was constipation due to poor digestion and prescribed medication. I suggest you take your child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the specific cause of the constipation. Long-term constipation is harmful to a child’s health. If waste products are not expelled from the body, the child is more susceptible to getting sick. Encourage your child to eat more fruits and vegetables. Wishing your baby a healthy, happy, and joyful growth. A mother’s heartfelt wish.
