Question
How to deal with constipation in a 7-month-old baby?
Answer
It is recommended that parents massage the baby’s abdomen in a clockwise direction every day and provide adequate water and juice to prevent constipation. For babies who have started on complementary foods, ensure they consume sufficient water and juice. If the baby’s stool contains bubbles, it may be a sign of indigestion, which could lead to food residue fermenting in the intestines and producing gas, thus forming frothy stool.
