Two-year-old baby anal pain

A two-year-old baby has anal pain, which is often related to constipation. Poor diet or weak constitution may cause constipation in children. This often leads to difficulty in defecation and causes anal pain. This has a great impact on the child's growth and development. It must be adjusted in time. More serious cases should be treated with medication. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Two-year-old baby anal pain

A two-and-a-half-year-old child has very dry and hard stools, which is related to constipation. Pay attention to eating lighter meals, and eat more yellow-green, easily digestible vegetables and fruits, and whole grains. This is probably due to constipation caused by improper diet. If the child's stool is just a little dry and hard, and a little black in color, it is considered constipation, which may be related to the child's usual eating habits. Pay attention to eating more foods with high fiber content.

What to do if your two-year-old baby has dry and thick stools

1. Breastfed babies are less likely to suffer from constipation. If this happens, in addition to breastfeeding, add bowel-lubricating complementary foods, such as diluted pear juice, white radish juice, tomato juice, boiled hawthorn or red date juice; for babies over 4 months old, add vegetable puree or fruit puree (banana puree), but honey is not recommended.

2. Babies who are bottle-fed are more prone to constipation, but constipation can be avoided if complementary foods are added appropriately. After constipation, you can add fruit juice (such as tomato juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, jujube juice or water boiled with white radish) to stimulate intestinal peristalsis. If various complementary foods have been added, 600 ml of milk per day is enough, and you can eat more coarse grains, sweet potatoes, vegetables, etc.

3. Training bowel habits: After feeding in the morning, an adult should support the baby with both hands, or let him sit in a basin or a small defecation chair. Do this on time for half a month to develop a habit. Do not change the time at will after developing it.

4. Massage: Use your palm to gently massage the baby's abdomen, and massage clockwise around the baby's belly button. Massage 10 times, rest for 5 minutes, and then massage 10 times. Repeat 3 times to promote intestinal peristalsis and facilitate defecation.

5. Leg flexion and extension exercise: Let the baby lie on his back, grab the baby's legs and do flexion and extension exercise, that is, stretch and flex once, for a total of 10 times, and then flex and extend one leg 10 times.

There are many reasons why a two and a half year old baby has dry and thick stools. I hope parents can understand the correct way to feed their babies. Be sure to let your baby eat more easily digestible food. If the baby has dry stools, you can also use massage to massage the baby, which can help relieve constipation.
