Question
Are there any dietary treatments for children’s constipation?
Answer
First, make sure to give your baby plenty of water, and eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Incorporate bananas, pears, apples, oranges, and give your baby abdominal massages. Consume more fibrous foods like cooked rice porridge, millet porridge, and mung bean porridge. You can also cook these with pear water, carrot water, or hawthorn water for their cooling and detoxifying properties. It’s important to establish good living habits for your baby, avoiding meat deficiencies or picky eating. Appropriately increase outdoor exercise, give your baby more abdominal massages, let them cry more often to enhance gastrointestinal movement, aid in absorption, and promote bowel movements. Avoid spicy and irritating foods for the next couple of days.
