Question

What are the causes of my baby being constipated for several days?

Answer

When a baby experiences constipation, you can try gently massaging their abdomen before bedtime. Place your palm flat on the baby’s navel with your hand facing down, and gently rub in a clockwise direction. This helps to promote bowel movement and defecation, as well as aids in digestion. However, if the baby is diagnosed with a gastrointestinal disease, parents should immediately cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. At the same time, the baby’s diet should be reasonable, avoiding irritating and cold foods.
