When does the baby start to defecate after using the enema?

Suppository is a medicine specifically for constipation. Many adults have difficulty defecating, and they can quickly relieve constipation after using suppository. Babies with poor stomachs may also suffer from constipation. If the baby has a weak constitution, they can also use enema. Let us now understand when the baby will start to defecate after using enema?

You can use enema to have a bowel movement at any time. If your baby is constipated, it is recommended to solve the problem through diet and not to rely entirely on medication.

1. Add complementary foods on time and add crude fiber foods. After the seventh month, in addition to fruit juice, cod liver oil, rice, batter or porridge, eggs, and tender tofu, you can also add fish, minced meat, chopped vegetables, biscuits, bread slices, etc.

2. To help your child develop good living habits, you can gradually train him to have regular bowel movements, and start potty training when he is 8-9 months old.

3. You can give your child intestinal cleansing medicine once a month. If diet therapy is ineffective, massage therapy can be used. First, place the child in supine position on the bed. The massager puts four fingers of his left hand side by side and presses them on the child's navel. Massage in a clockwise circular motion, neither too light nor too heavy, and massage evenly 300 times, once in the morning and once in the evening. Go to the hospital if necessary and take some medicine or Chinese medicine to adjust intestinal function under the doctor's guidance. Do not abuse laxatives or catharsis.

The above is an explanation of when the baby will start to defecate after using enema. Although enema can play a certain role in a short period of time, you cannot rely entirely on it because it is a medicine and still cannot improve intestinal digestion problems. You still have to start with daily eating habits.
