Question
How to treat severe infant constipation?
Answer
When infants experience constipation, parents should first guide them correctly and establish a routine of regular bowel movements by signaling at fixed times each day. Do not force them to defecate or keep them sitting on the toilet for extended periods. You can administer medications that promote intestinal motility and lubricate the intestines, such as Mamy Love or Children’s Four Grind Decoction, and perform clockwise massages on the baby’s abdomen to facilitate defecation.
