Question
How to deal with the problem of infants’ dry stools?
Answer
Infant constipation may be due to fluid deficiency within the body, leading to dryness in the intestines and difficulty in defecation. This could be a result of insufficient moisture in the large intestine, commonly known as ‘Large Intestine Fluid Deficiency Syndrome.’ In such cases, ‘Bianaitong Tea’ can be used to help alleviate intestinal heat and promote bowel movements. Additionally, some elders have the habit of chewing food before feeding infants, which may transmit bacteria and is not beneficial for infant digestion. It is recommended to feed infants directly with food that has been cooked to an appropriate temperature.
