Question
What should I do if my 10-month-old baby has severe constipation and bloody stools?
Answer
Blood in a baby’s stool may be caused by excessively dry feces leading to damage of the rectal mucosa. Don’t worry too much; drinking plenty of water and consuming appropriate amounts of juice can help alleviate symptoms. At the same time, avoiding overeating, especially at night, can also help improve the situation.
