What to do if your 3-year-old baby is constipated

In our daily life, we may often hear about the disease of constipation. In fact, constipation has no age limit. If indigestion and improper diet persist for a long time, constipation may occur. The baby may cry when defecating, which may be a symptom of constipation. At this time, expectant mothers need to pay more attention to avoid affecting the digestive system due to long-term constipation.

If the baby has constipation, we must make an adjustment to the baby's daily diet. Maintaining a good dietary structure for the baby can ensure the health of the baby's diet and body. Eating a combination of whole grains and protein can effectively relieve constipation.

The baby's stool is dry, and he cries and has difficulty defecating. The frequency of defecating is significantly less than usual, sometimes only once every 2-3 days, or even 6-7 days. As parents, we feel the pain when seeing this. What should we do if children have constipation? What is the best treatment method that is harmless to the body? Constipation is often caused by indigestion or weak spleen and stomach. Excessive consumption of fish, meat, eggs and lack of intake of grains, vegetables and other foods is also an important reason. Parents should note that since the baby's intestinal function is not yet perfect, it is generally not advisable to use laxatives such as fruit laxatives, otherwise it is easy to cause intestinal dysfunction. To treat constipation in children, parents can refer to the following dietary recipes:

1. Potato juice: Wash and dry an appropriate amount of potatoes, peel and chop them, mash and squeeze out the juice, 10-20 ml each time, once before breakfast and lunch.

2. Stir-fried sweet potato leaves: Wash and chop 100 grams of fresh sweet potato leaves, add oil and appropriate amount of salt, stir-fry, and take twice a day.

3. Onion, honey and milk: Take 100-200 ml of milk, 20-40 g of honey and 2-4 ml of onion juice, mix well and cook over low heat, drink on an empty stomach every morning for 3 consecutive days until you have a bowel movement. Of course, there are some other details in life that need attention, such as spicy food. In addition, children's constipation can be treated by taking Zangling Stachyose, which has no toxic side effects and is very safe and effective in treating constipation.

If your baby is constipated on a daily basis, you cannot treat it with medication because the baby is still young. If the child is treated with medication, it is likely to affect his or her body. Therefore, we can only relieve the symptoms of constipation through daily diet. Stable dietary fiber can promote our gastrointestinal motility and relieve the symptoms of constipation.
