Question
My 8-month-old baby has started constipation after stopping diarrhea. He only eats rice porridge and anti-diarrheal formula milk, and his stools are hard and difficult to pass, occasionally with a dark green color. The baby looks uncomfortable, and I don’t know what to do. I’m worried that feeding him the wrong food might cause him to have diarrhea again.
Answer
It is recommended to massage your baby’s tummy or take him to see a doctor for a check-up. Constipation in children is a common issue that can usually be resolved through general treatment. Parents should use the correct methods to help their children with constipation to avoid affecting their growth and development. Please keep a close eye on your child’s condition and take him to see a doctor in a timely manner.
