Why do children have constipation and dry stools?

Many parents find that their baby's stool is very hard and they are very wary of this symptom of the disease. It may be because they do not pay attention to their diet, their children have the habit of being picky or partial eaters, do not like to eat fresh vegetables, etc., all of which can lead to dry stools. As a parent, you should supplement your child with vegetables and fruits in time, let them drink more water, and take your baby to the hospital to check whether there is a problem with the stomach and intestines.

The causes of dry stool in children include:

① Bad eating habits, such as picky eating, partial eating, especially not eating foods rich in fiber (fresh vegetables);

②Some children eat very little, which can easily cause dry stools.

③Irregular bowel habits. Some parents do not pay attention to cultivating children's habit of regular bowel movements every day, so children may only defecate once every 2-3 days. The stool stays in the intestines for a long time, and it is easy to dry and difficult to pass.

④ Lack of exercise in children is also one of the reasons for dry stools.
