Babies can also experience constipation, so if a baby has such a problem, parents should not worry. The baby's constipation can be caused by many reasons, and parents only need to find the cause and prescribe the right medicine to solve it. But many people don't know how to handle it, so what if a baby doesn't defecate?
If a baby does not defecate, first of all, if it is breastfed, it is necessary to increase the amount of breast milk appropriately. For babies who are artificially fed, attention should be paid to the method and proportion of formula preparation. Between two feedings, it is necessary to give the baby more water and train the baby to have a regular bowel movement habit. It is possible to choose to allow the baby to defecate and establish a conditioned reflex after feeding.
When a baby who is still breastfeeding is constipated, they can also be fed some rice soup every day (the rice grains in the soup must be drained), or a small amount of boiled Job's tears can be used for feeding. It can improve constipation in babies. In addition, regular abdominal massage can also be done for babies. If babies have not defecated for a long time, they can use laxatives. If necessary, medication can be used under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
If medication is needed for treatment, be sure to go to the hospital first and ask for clarification. Do not self medicate your baby at home. Because young babies cannot use many medications casually, indiscriminate use can cause significant harm to their bodies.
