Question
What should be done when an infant cries continuously during defecation, and seems to have difficulty in passing stool?
Answer
Infant constipation leading to difficult defecation can indeed cause discomfort and crying. It is recommended to increase the infant’s water intake in daily life. If the infant is breastfed, the mother should pay attention to a light diet; if formula-fed, the infant is more prone to heat, and you can add a cooling MilkPowder companion like Qinghuobao to the formula milk to alleviate constipation symptoms.
