Question
How should constipation in a 40-day-old newborn be treated?
Answer
For newborns breastfed with constipation, it is recommended that mothers increase their intake of fruits and vegetables, especially using Yishutang hemp oil to cook vegetables, to help increase the content of hydrophilic factors in breast milk, thereby alleviating the baby’s constipation. If the constipation situation does not improve, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital early for a check-up to determine the treatment plan.
