Question
How to treat baby constipation with blood?
Answer
- The air baby swallows while breastfeeding may be a major cause of constipation. If the baby frequently farts but does not pass stool, it is very important to hold the baby upright and gently pat the baby’s back after feeding to help expel the air inhaled during breastfeeding.
- If the baby is breastfed, the mother should pay attention to a balanced diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and drink more soups, such as pork trotter and peanut soup, chicken foot and peanut soup, papaya soup, fish soup, etc., to keep the baby’s bowel movements smooth.
