Question

How to handle constipation in a three-month-old baby?

Answer

Constipation may be associated with insufficient intestinal motility and dysbiosis in infants. If the problem persists without improvement, you can try using a glycerin suppository to aid defecation and perform more abdominal massage. Additionally, increasing fluid intake, consuming fiber-rich foods, and supplementing with probiotics can also help improve constipation. Most importantly, adjusting the baby’s dietary habits is crucial. If the situation is severe, it is recommended to seek immediate examination and treatment at a professional tertiary hospital.
