Question
How to treat baby constipation with bleeding?
Answer
- Excessive air intake while breastfeeding may be the main cause of constipation in babies, often manifested as “only passing gas but not having a bowel movement.” Therefore, it is crucial to hold the baby upright and gently pat their back after feeding to help them expel the inhaled air.
- If the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid fad diets, eat more vegetables and fruits, and drink more soups, such as pork hoof and peanut soup, chicken foot and peanut soup, papaya soup, fish soup, etc.
