Baby gastrointestinal diseases are manifested through bowel movements, and poor gastrointestinal health can directly affect appetite and be harmful to overall health. Sometimes you may find that your baby's stool is relatively dry, which can easily lead to constipation. So how to regulate dry stool in babies?
Baby's dry stool may be caused by drinking too little water in daily life, as well as a relatively dry environment, resulting in a lack of water in the baby's body. Parents can dry boiled water for their babies to drink, and if the baby is not used to using a bottle, they can also use a spoon to feed the baby. If the baby drinks less water, it can be divided into multiple feedings to prevent the baby from losing water.
If a baby eats too much and experiences excessive gastrointestinal pressure, they may not be able to digest it in a short period of time, which can lead to food accumulation and constipation. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the amount of baby feeding. If feeding complementary foods, it is better to choose easily digestible and soup based foods. You can also add some vegetables, apples, and bananas to the complementary foods to promote faster gastrointestinal peristalsis and help with bowel movements.
If the baby's dry stool does not improve, there may be anal fissures, and the baby may experience bloating, decreased appetite, and so on. For the sake of the baby's physical health, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital to improve the situation through medication, so that the baby's body can recover earlier. Pay attention to feeding your baby regularly to prevent dry stools.
