Question
My baby is 11 months old and has been having very dry stools. Sometimes, they don’t go for five days. Although I’ve given him dragon fruit, apples, and bananas, and he’s been drinking probiotics, the situation hasn’t improved. I want to know what I should do?
Answer
I suggest establishing a regular bowel movement habit for your baby and increasing the intake of fiber-rich foods, which requires a gradual process. In an emergency, you can use a glycerin suppository to help with defecation. If this is not effective, you may need to consider enemas or the use of laxatives like Qizhen Dan. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
