Question
When an infant cries during defecation and has difficulty in passing stool, does it indicate that the baby is suffering from constipation?
Answer
Dear parents, newborns indeed experience discomfort during constipation, just like adults, and difficulty in defecation can lead to crying. Due to abdominal discomfort, infants often exhibit crying behaviors during constipation. It is recommended to give the baby more water regularly. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should pay attention to a light diet; if formula-fed, the baby is more prone to heat, and fire-reducing milk companions such as Qinghuobao can be added to the formula.
