Question

My baby is 50 days old and has been experiencing constipation recently. He only has a bowel movement once a day, and it seems like he is having a tough time. Is it a problem with breast milk or formula?

Answer

General treatment methods for pediatric constipation include: 1, drinking more water, 2, breastfeeding the baby; mothers should pay attention to adjusting their dietary structure, focusing on light and healthy eating, and drink more water themselves. 3, give the baby clockwise massage; method: with the navel as the center, gently massage the baby’s abdomen with your palm, from left to right, massage 10 times, each for 5 minutes, and repeat this 3 times. Feed more fruits, vegetable juices, and water. Avoid feeding too quickly and ensure the formula concentration is very dilute.
