Question
Why Do Babies Get Constipated?
Answer
If a baby is not having a bowel movement, it might be due to the breast milk being too refined. Parents can try massaging the baby’s abdomen and feeding ripe vegetable puree or mashed bananas to help promote defecation. It is advised that parents first attempt such dietary adjustments. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to bring the child for a detailed pediatric examination as soon as possible.
