Question
My two-month-old baby has trouble sleeping and often makes snoring sounds, along with regurgitation and intestinal rumbling. How often does he have a bowel movement? Is this a sign of digestive discomfort?
Answer
Since the nervous system regulation of the baby’s gastrointestinal tract is not yet fully developed, their digestive function is still in the process of maturing. Using medication to relieve constipation may lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and nausea and vomiting. Therefore, for infant constipation, dietary therapy is the most ideal solution. It is advisable to give the baby honey water or incorporate honey into milk for feeding, which can be effective. Bananas can also be given to the baby, and results can be seen in a short period. Additionally, castor oil is also a good remedy for constipation. I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you, and I wish you good health!
