6 month old baby constipation after eating rice cereal

When adding complementary foods to six-month-old babies, many families will first choose rice noodles. Rice noodles not only contain a lot of nutrients needed by babies, but are also very convenient to eat and have a variety of flavors. However, some babies developed constipation symptoms after eating rice noodles, which caused mothers to worry. In fact, when many babies first start eating rice noodles, it is inevitable that they will suffer from constipation because their stomachs are not yet adapted to it. Parents don’t need to worry too much about this.

1. Why do 6-month-old babies get constipated after eating rice cereal?

If a six-month-old baby suffers from constipation after eating rice noodles, you can feed him an appropriate amount, but don’t feed him too much. It is likely caused by indigestion or getting angry. It is recommended to feed the baby after a while. Don’t feed it to the baby first. You can choose light and non-irritating millet porridge for the baby. Or you can eat some Mommy's Love to regulate your stomach.

2. What to do if your 6-month-old baby is constipated after eating rice cereal

1. Parents can gently rub the baby's abdomen with their palms, with the baby's belly button as the center, and then rub in a circular motion from left to right. After every ten massages, you should rest for about five minutes, and then continue to massage ten times, and repeat this three times. By taking this method, you can effectively promote the gastrointestinal blood circulation in the baby's abdomen, which can increase the child's intestinal motility.

2. In addition to the above, parents can also feed their babies some Simo Decoction under the professional guidance of a doctor to help them regulate their gastrointestinal function, or use enema, soap bars and other irritating items to help them defecate. Experts point out that enema contains two substances, glycerin and sorbitol, which can effectively stimulate the baby's intestines and have a laxative effect, so you can try it.

3. There are many solutions to constipation in six-month-old babies caused by eating rice noodles. Here I would like to suggest that parents and friends should feed their children more fruits and vegetables in daily life. When brewing rice noodles, add more water and don't make it too dry. If the child's constipation is very serious, he or she should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

3. Diet therapy for constipation

1. Vegetable juice soup: Use appropriate amount of fresh spinach or cabbage to cook soup and drink.

2. Radish juice: Mash the red radish into a paste (or use a juicer to extract the juice), add appropriate amount of sugar, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, and drink while warm.

3. Take 30-60 grams of honey and 10 grams of sesame oil with boiled water, once in the morning and once in the evening.

4. Chive juice: Mash the chive leaves and take 1 small cup of juice. Drink it with warm water, once in the morning and once in the evening.

5. Crush 15 grams of black sesame seeds, boil in water, and eat on an empty stomach.
