What should I do if my 10-year-old child is constipated?

Constipation in children is still a relatively common condition. Most of the time, it is caused by parents not paying attention to their children's diet. Because children's physical development is still incomplete, there is a big gap between their digestive system and that of adults, so special attention is needed. Now let me give you a detailed introduction.

1. Change your baby’s food choices. You can boil pear juice with white radish, without removing the core of the pear, to treat your baby's constipation. Also, make sure your baby drinks plenty of water. Babies around one year old can choose honey water or fruit juice. Or you can increase the amount of sugar in the milk you feed your baby, add 5 to 8 grams of white sugar to 100 ml of milk, or you can feed some yogurt.

2. Massaging your baby can promote gastrointestinal motility. It plays an auxiliary role in the treatment of baby's constipation. Gently rub your baby's tummy before going to bed every day. Place your palm flat on the baby's navel with your palm facing down, and gently massage in a clockwise direction. This not only speeds up the baby's intestinal peristalsis and promotes defecation, but also helps promote the baby's digestion.

3. Ensure your baby's activity level. Lack of exercise can sometimes lead to constipation. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that your baby has a certain amount of activity every day. For babies who cannot walk or crawl independently, mom and dad should hold them more, do simple exercises with them, move their hands and feet, or rub their tummy appropriately, instead of leaving them alone in the cradle for a long time.

4. Develop the habit of regular bowel movements. It is also an important means to prevent baby constipation. Generally, babies over 3 months old can start training. After feeding in the morning, an adult should support the baby with both hands, or let him sit in a basin or a multi-functional toilet seat. If you do this on time continuously, you will develop the habit of regular bowel movements after one month.

In fact, it is best for everyone to pay more attention to the children's diet. It is best to eat more foods that are easier for children to digest.
