Question
How to handle constipation caused by cow’s milk protein allergy?
Answer
Cow’s milk protein allergy can lead to constipation in infants. Since their intestinal function is not yet fully developed, constipation is more likely to occur. At this point, parents should not worry excessively. Increasing the baby’s water intake, using abdominal massage to aid digestion and defecation, and giving the baby some honey water in the morning can help promote absorption and relieve constipation. If the baby’s mental state remains good, there is usually no major issue. If the baby experiences chronic constipation, it is advisable to consider visiting a hospital for further examination.
