Question
How to deal with long-term constipation in young children?
Answer
There is no history of illness, moderate exercise, and doing baby exercises. Insufficient exercise can also slow down intestinal peristalsis, leading to poor defecation. Mothers can often help their babies do baby exercises; for older babies, encourage them to practice rolling over, crawling, or give them a ball to play with. Appropriately massaging the baby’s abdomen: massage the lower left abdomen, if you touch a string-like object, gently massage from top to bottom to promote bowel movement. Appropriately massaging the baby’s anal opening can also cause a physiological reflex and promote defecation.
