Question
The baby has been crying and showing a lack of appetite recently. We are worried whether it is constipation.
Answer
The situation may not be severe; it is recommended to observe more closely. If the baby has constipation issues, it may be related to the breast milk being too refined. You can try massaging the baby’s abdomen to promote defecation, or add cooked vegetable puree or banana puree to the food to help with elimination. Additionally, a herbal tea known as ‘Bian Nai Tong’ can also help alleviate constipation symptoms.
