My baby hasn't had a bowel movement for 8 days and keeps farting

We all know that constipation is very common for babies, especially for babies who eat milk powder instead of breast milk. They are more likely to suffer from constipation because milk powder is a particularly dry food. When making milk powder, it should be diluted. This can effectively relieve the baby's constipation. So what should I do if my baby has not defecated for eight days and keeps farting?

If your baby is constipated, you can add milk companion to milk powder or water, 1 pack per day. For breastfed babies, mothers should pay attention to adjusting their diet structure, eat lighter food, and drink more water. Massage the abdomen clockwise, and you can use pediatric enema or soap bars. But don't use it for a long time.

There is a possibility of constipation, and children's constipation can be solved painlessly.

(1) Gently rub the child's abdomen with your palm, rubbing from left to right with the navel as the center. Massage 10 times, rest for 5 minutes, massage again 10 times, and repeat 3 times.

(2) The child lies on his back, and the child's legs are held and flexed and extended. This is done 10 times, then flexed and extended 10 times. Then, one leg is flexed and extended 10 times.

(3) Apply an oily topical medication (such as chlortetracycline ointment) to the anus of the child, pad it with soft paper, and gently push and press the anus. Do this slowly for 10 times. Generally, the child will feel the urge to defecate or have a bowel movement soon.

This is a common problem for babies. Remember to massage your baby's belly twice a day, morning and evening. Mothers should eat less mushrooms, garlic, onions, and cabbage, and have a good combination of meat and vegetables. Give your baby water between meals.

Baby's constipation symptoms are related to personal constitution or gastrointestinal dysfunction. In addition, pay attention to whether it is caused by factors such as enteritis, dysbacteriosis, and inflammation. You can try using drugs such as Mommy Love or Xiaoer Simo Decoction for treatment. Regularly massaging the baby's abdomen clockwise will have a certain effect. You can also give the baby some refined foods, such as vegetables, sweet potatoes, and fruits.
