Question

My newborn has just turned 36 days old and is experiencing constipation. How should I handle it? Have you tried any treatments and what were the results? What kind of help do I need at the moment?

Answer

Constipation in newborns can be caused by an underdeveloped digestive system or significant changes in diet. It is recommended to consider oral digestive enzyme supplements or adjusting the diet to improve symptoms. Additionally, avoiding overfeeding and keeping the baby’s intestines cool can also help prevent and alleviate constipation.
