Question
What are the treatment methods for infant constipation? According to reports, my baby has been relying on formula milk since a few months old due to insufficient breast milk supply. It is said that formula milk can lead to internal heat. Recently, the baby hasn’t had a bowel movement and the belly is bloated. The doctor diagnosed the baby with constipation, and I want to know how to effectively treat it.
Answer
Infant constipation may be caused by insufficient physical activity leading to slow intestinal peristalsis, thereby causing dry stools. This may also be related to difficulty in defecation due to internal hemorrhoids. It is recommended to give the baby a warm water sitz bath and increase the intake of fiber-rich vegetables such as celery and pumpkin.
