Question
What should be done if a 9-month-old baby has hard and thick stool?
Answer
To improve the baby’s stool condition, it is recommended to encourage the baby to drink more water regularly. Gently massaging the baby’s belly in a clockwise direction can also help with bowel movement. For babies under one year old, milk should still be the primary food source. Additionally, you can add some foods that are effective in promoting bowel movement to the baby’s diet, such as dragon fruit juice or pumpkin puree, which can help soften the stool.
