Question
My 7-month-old baby has constipation, but he poops every day and the amount is not too little. He now eats a variety of complementary foods and eats quite a lot, but he drinks less milk powder now, only having it twice a day. Is the baby’s constipation related to eating more complementary foods and drinking less milk powder? How serious is it? What should I do? Thank you.
Answer
Baby constipation is generally related to drinking too little water, drinking too much milk, and low intestinal function. You can give the child some honey water, feed some vegetable puree and fruit puree appropriately. For severe constipation, you can use a rectal suppository to relieve difficulty in defecation. Additionally, you can take pediatric Qizhen pills to assist in treating constipation. Wishing the baby grows up healthy. There are many factors that can cause pediatric digestive diseases. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to cultivate children’s picky eating habits and have a balanced diet.
