Why does it happen that babies have difficulty pooping?

Difficulty in defecation for babies is a very common problem that many mothers have experienced.

You can neither take laxatives nor use compulsory methods to help the baby defecate. It is very troublesome. Here are some common methods to tell you how to help the baby defecate.

1. Soap bar laxative method: Use soap to cut into a soap bar as thick as a pencil and more than 3 cm long. Moisten it with water and insert it into the baby's anus. It can stimulate the intestinal wall and cause defecation.

2. Salted radish strips laxative method: Cut radish strips into pencil-thick strips, soak them in salt water and insert them into the anus to promote defecation.
