Question

My six-and-a-half-month-old baby has been experiencing constipation since adding complementary foods, such as egg yolks and fish puree, in addition to formula milk. The baby’s stool has been very dry lately, sometimes resembling dried beans, and it’s hard to pass even with a lot of effort. I know that improper introduction of complementary foods can cause diarrhea, but what could be causing the baby’s constipation? I hope experienced mothers can help me out!

Answer

Hello, it might be due to overfeeding during the recent addition of complementary foods. I suggest reducing the quantity. Constipation in infants has always been a concern for parents, and when treating this condition, it is important to consider general treatment methods. Parents should only use proper methods to help children recover from the disease as quickly as possible, so as not to affect their growth and development. Therefore, when children develop diseases, parents must act quickly to help them recover.
