Question

How can one handle constipation in a baby after taking Simethicone?

Answer

Since a baby’s gastrointestinal tract has not yet matured and their digestive system is not fully developed, using medication to aid bowel movements may lead to issues such as gastrointestinal dysfunction and diarrhea. Therefore, a dietary approach is more ideal for treating baby constipation. Parents can give their baby honey water, or add honey to milk for feeding, to alleviate constipation.
