What to do if your newborn can't defecate

How fragile a newborn baby is, that tiny little life, that fragile body, makes people want to protect it. Newborns often have some problems of one kind or another, for example, inability to defecate is a common symptom. So what causes this phenomenon? In fact, there are many reasons. Let’s analyze them below to help some parents resolve their doubts.

Problem Analysis: Constipation in infants and young children is a common disease with many causes, which can be generally divided into the following two categories.

1: Functional constipation - this type of constipation can be cured through conditioning.

2: Constipation caused by congenital intestinal malformation - this type of constipation cannot be cured by general conditioning and must be corrected by surgery. The vast majority of infant constipation is functional.

Rehabilitation guidance: In this case, the baby can be fed more water and fruit juice, and the mother should pay attention to a lighter diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If the symptoms persist for several days, you can use a pediatric suppository. Do not feed too fast or too full each time, and the concentration of milk powder should be thinner. Develop good regular bowel movement habits. Massage your baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction twice a day for 5-10 minutes each time. You can also choose probiotics and pepsin powder, which can help balance the intestinal flora, restore normal intestinal pH, and relieve constipation symptoms.

Based on the above analysis, I hope it will be helpful to many parents. If parents are still worried, they need to do a more detailed examination of the baby so that they can prescribe the right medicine, alleviate the baby's own pain, and let the parents feel relieved. The health of the baby is the most important thing for a family, so parents need to diagnose and treat them in time.
