Dry and bleeding stool in children

We all know that the digestive system of babies is not yet mature, so when choosing food for babies, we must choose those that are easy to digest. This will not only help the baby develop a good stomach, but also prevent indigestion, constipation or diarrhea. However, some children may have dry and bleeding stools. What should we do at this time?

If your baby has bleeding in his stool, you need to see whether the blood is bright red or dark red. Bright red blood indicates bleeding from anal fissure, while dark red blood indicates bleeding in the intestine, such as polyps or inflammation. If constipation is mild, you can adjust your diet. Drinking vegetable soup is very effective. Chop the vegetables, boil them, add seasonings and eat them directly or put them into porridge. Honey water and bananas don't work. Black fungus is also good for treating constipation. You can also let your children drink some Life Sunshine colostrum, which can enhance their disease resistance and improve immunity.

You can also add honey to milk so that you can drink it, or steam bananas and feed them to your baby to cure constipation. If you then cook some vegetable porridge or something, the situation should improve.
