What to do if your baby has hard and dry poop

When babies start to eat complementary foods, it is easy for them to have dry and hard stools. It will be very difficult for them to defecate every time. Over time, a lot of toxins will accumulate in the body, which will affect the baby's health. At this time, we need to find out what causes the baby's hard stools, and then make some corresponding adjustments. When the baby's stools are hard and dry, the corresponding methods are as follows:

1. Method 1

Children have hard and dry stools because the large intestine absorbs excess water when digesting and absorbing nutrients from food, causing the stool to become dry and difficult to defecate, or simply constipation. It has a great impact on children's physical health.

2. Method 2

Treatment for hard stools requires a combination of methods. Because the causes of constipation are mainly the following three aspects. 1. Insufficient water intake. 2. Insufficient fiber intake. 3. Insufficient food intake.

3. Method 3

In addition to the factor of insufficient water intake from food, another reason children lose water from their bodies is due to external factors, such as exercise, hot weather, etc., which causes water to be excreted from the body and leads to insufficient water.

4. Method 4

Treatment methods include supplementing nutrients. You cannot simply replace water absorption with fruit juice. Drinking a moderate amount of boiled water does not mean a decline in the quality of life, but is a necessary requirement for the body.

5. Method 5

Neither prepared milk nor fresh milk can replace the role of boiled water. Children cannot recognize the pain of constipation. Adults should pay enough attention to it and not indulge children based on their taste preferences.

6. Method 6

Try to consume foods that are high in crude fiber and rich in water, such as celery, leafy vegetables, bananas, etc. Children prefer meat or refined foods, which are less irritating to the stomach and intestines and will gradually reduce intestinal motility and cause constipation.

7. Method 7

Using physical means to massage the abdomen and promote intestinal peristalsis can accelerate constipation caused by dry stool. Massage requires a reasonable dietary intake, supplemented by physical massage, and the development of a healthy and regular bowel habit. Not having a bowel movement for a long time will also cause repeated absorption of food residues, and the toxins produced by the feces in the intestines will also be absorbed by the intestines. Be gentle and take your time.

A reasonable diet, supplemented by physical massage, and the development of healthy and regular bowel habits. Not having a bowel movement for a long time will also cause repeated absorption of food residues, and the toxins produced by the feces in the intestines will also be absorbed by the intestines.

The last point to note is that if the symptoms do not improve after these adjustments, you must go to the hospital for examination to rule out the possibility of surgical disease.
