Question
My friend’s sister in law asked if there are any methods to prevent her 6-month-old baby from developing constipation. She is worried that her child may become less willing to defecate due to constipation, leading to the situation worsening. She hopes to receive some suggestions for preventing constipation.
Answer
It is recommended that parents start helping the baby develop a regular sitting habit after changing the diaper in the morning, starting around when the baby is 3 months old. To increase the baby’s acceptance of sitting on the pot, it is important to ensure that the room temperature is comfortable and the pot is comfortable. In addition, feeding the baby bananas or other foods rich in dietary fiber and increasing the baby’s physical activity can help prevent constipation.
