What to do if your child has constipation?

Constipation in children is a very common phenomenon, and it can occur for a variety of reasons. When a child has constipation, the mother needs to know how to help the child. Therefore, mothers should learn more about children's constipation in normal times, so that when their children have constipation, they will not worry too much and not know what to do. What are some ways to help children?

1. Develop the habit of holding your child to urinate at regular intervals. When children did not have diapers, our mothers often did this. Hold the urinal for the child, blow a whistle, let the child half-sit on your knees, find the most comfortable way, and hold the urinal for the child. Don't always rely on diapers. I have seen babies who were able to poop out shortly after they were born.

2. Use soap bars. This is one of the more effective methods. It won't hurt the baby. Use regular soap that is a little harder. Cut it into small sticks, slightly thicker than chopsticks. The top surface is slightly pointed. Poke the PP a few times. Try it several times a day. Although this method is a bit tricky, I'm willing to give it a try for the sake of my baby.

3. Massage your child more often. After bathing, gently massage around the baby's belly button in a clockwise and gentle manner, once a day, and keep doing it. Don't dress him too many clothes. I often see many elderly grandparents who are afraid that their children will get cold, so they dress them in layers of clothes. There is no freedom of movement. It feels so uncomfortable.

4 Pay attention to diet and daily life, feed him a small amount of honey water (honey water should not be fed to the baby frequently) or some mashed banana. Although breast-fed babies do not lack water, it is better to feed them some boiled water occasionally to clean their mouths. If you have constipation, it is recommended to drink some probiotics, but it is not recommended to drink too much children's fire-reducing tea. Taking medicine is not recommended. Personally, I feel unsafe using things whose contents I don’t know.

If a child has constipation, the mother should not worry too much. According to the baby's condition, choose one or two appropriate and useful methods to help treat constipation. Also, you should pay attention to what children eat on a daily basis. It is best not to let children eat things that are difficult to digest. Otherwise, constipation is likely to occur.
