Question
Why does my baby have dry stool? How often should a baby have bowel movements?
Answer
A baby’s dry stool may be related to insufficient water intake, excessive milk consumption, or low intestinal function. It is recommended that parents give their child more honey water and increase the intake of vegetable puree and fruit puree in moderation. If constipation is severe, a rectal suppository can be used to alleviate bowel difficulties. Moreover, children’s Qizhen pills can be considered as an auxiliary treatment for constipation. Wishing the baby a healthy growth!
