Question
Children often encounter constipation issues, and parents have noticed that their children rely on rectal suppositories to defecate, worrying about developing dependency. Parents seek natural relief methods without medication intervention.
Answer
Hello parents, if the child does not exhibit persistent crying or drowsiness and their diet is normal, with only slightly fewer bowel movements, this is to some extent a normal phenomenon. Especially for infants breastfed exclusively, as their gastrointestinal system matures, they absorb breast milk more fully, resulting in less food residue. It is recommended to supplement the child with more fluids between feedings and perform clockwise abdominal massage to promote intestinal peristalsis.
