Question
My baby is 4 months old and has been suffering from constipation for over a month. Although the checks have been normal, medication is needed for bowel movements, and the condition worsened after calcium supplementation. I’m asking for ways to improve it.
Answer
It is recommended to develop a fixed time for bowel movements as a hygiene habit, and to increase the intake of dietary fiber and fluids. Encourage moderate drinking of water or honey water, and supplement with foods rich in fats such as dates, sesame seeds, and walnuts to moisten intestines and promote bowel movements.
