How to relieve baby's difficulty in pooping

The weather nowadays is very hot, and babies don’t like to exercise much, so it will cause the baby to get angry. In this case, it will be very difficult for the baby to defecate, and it will seem very strenuous. This is all caused by the relatively dry air. Parents don’t need to worry too much. So how can we alleviate the baby’s difficulty in defecation?

The baby is constipated. For constipated babies, they should drink more water. At the same time, massage the baby's abdomen clockwise twice a day, each time for 5-10 minutes. In severe cases, injecting a suppository into the child's anus can stimulate the intestinal wall and cause defecation.

1. Train your baby to defecate on time. Generally, starting from about 3 months old, you can consciously train your baby to develop the habit of defecation on time, so that it will gradually form a conditioned reflex and produce the urge to defecate on time.

2. Scientific feeding and correct addition of complementary foods. Babies are prone to constipation when accepting new foods. Therefore, parents must follow the principle of starting from one to multiple, and from less to more when adding complementary foods to their babies. Take infant nutritional rice cereal as an example. For babies aged 3-4 months, 1-2 tablespoons are enough at the beginning, and then increased to 4-5 spoons after 2 weeks. In addition, when preparing rice cereal, pay attention to the ratio of rice cereal to water to avoid dry stools for babies. In addition, for babies aged 4-5 months, proper feeding of vegetable puree and fruit puree and other fiber-containing foods can prevent constipation. Older babies can take some laxative foods, such as orange juice, honey syrup, etc. In addition, they should eat more fruits, vegetables with more fiber, such as celery, leeks and porridge.

3. Pay attention to both cause and effect for babies with constipation. For children with constipation, take an appropriate amount of honey on an empty stomach every morning, and gently massage the baby's right lower abdomen upward around the navel clockwise for more than ten times with the palm of your right hand to achieve the effect of peristalsis and laxative. For those with severe constipation, take the baby to see a doctor as soon as possible to rule out congenital megacolon, anorectal stenosis and other diseases.
