Question

What are some effective methods for treating infants’ constipation?

Answer

  1. Temporarily increase the intake of high-protein foods, such as meats. This is just a temporary increase, and once the baby returns to normal, it is still important to ensure the intake of a normal amount.
  2. Add more starchy foods to the diet, and they can sometimes substitute for some of the staple foods. Most babies will see a significant improvement after adding starchy foods to their diet.
  3. Appropriately cool down and reduce heat. In the summer, infants are prone to diarrhea, which is also one of the causes of constipation. Therefore, giving the baby a moderate amount of cooling drinks can also be helpful.
