Question
What should I do if my six-month-old baby has dry feces?
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to analyze the possible causes of a baby’s dry stool, such as insufficient dietary fiber intake, inadequate water intake, or intolerance to certain foods. In some cases, it may simply be a problem related to growth and development. It’s also important to pay attention to the frequency of bowel movements; if the baby only has a bowel movement every 2-3 days, this is constipation and requires more aggressive treatment. It is recommended to consume enough vegetables, bananas, sweet potatoes, and honey daily, which will help improve bowel movement issues.
