What should I do if my 2-year-old baby has bowel movements for three days?

I believe that the last thing every mother wants is to see her child suffering from constipation. I heard a story before that a mother’s two-year-old baby took 3 days to defecate, and she didn’t know what to do. Because the baby was very small, it was more troublesome to adjust. In normal times, mothers should learn more about this knowledge so that they can solve the problem as soon as possible when encountering it.

1. Correct the diet for constipation caused by unreasonable diet. To soften the stool of bottle-fed babies, you can add tomato juice, orange juice, vegetable juice, etc. to the diet, or add baby honey to warm water and give the baby 60 to 90 ml every day to promote intestinal peristalsis.

If the above method is not effective, you can reduce the amount of milk and increase the amount of weaning foods, such as rice flour, wheat flour, etc. If a baby who has already started eating weaning food experiences constipation, you can add foods with high fiber content, such as vegetable puree, chopped vegetables, fruit and vegetable porridge.

When older babies are constipated, you can give them some whole grains or sweet potatoes, and they should also eat more crude fiber vegetables such as celery and leeks, and drink more boiled water. Especially after consuming too much high-protein, high-calorie food, they should drink water and eat fruits and vegetables in time.

2. Let your baby sit on the potty every morning and half an hour after meals. Regardless of whether he or she feels like defecating or not, he or she should sit on the potty for 10 minutes. Once a regular bowel movement time is formed, do not change it at will.

3. When your baby is constipated, you can retrain the intestinal defecation response ability under the guidance of a doctor. The method is to give the baby an enema after breakfast, and then sit on the potty immediately. Even if the baby does not defecate immediately, you must sit for 10 minutes. After 7 consecutive days, give the baby an enema every other day, and stop the enema after another 7 days.

The above are some small suggestions from the editor on regulating the bowel movements of a two-year-old baby in three days. You just need to follow the above methods, which will definitely play a certain role. Mothers should also pay attention to changes in the baby's body at ordinary times, because the child is too young to express it, so the sooner you notice it, the better it will be for the child.
