After the baby is born, it becomes a key protected object in the family. The baby's immune system is low, and it is easy for them to get infected and get sick. When the baby gets sick, it is the family who suffer the most. If you want to understand your baby's physical condition, you can observe their stool. What if your baby doesn't defecate for more than ten days?
If a baby does not defecate for ten days, it may be caused by constipation. If constipation persists for a long time, it is best to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. At the same time, give your baby plenty of water and eat more coarse fiber vegetables and fruits. Massage the baby's belly clockwise, and the mother should also eat more vegetables and fruits.
What should I do if my child doesn't defecate for a long time?
1. Improve children's eating habits. There is a significant correlation between a child's dietary habits and their bowel movements. Children who frequently consume high calorie or spicy foods tend to have longer bowel movements, which can lead to constipation. So parents should correct their children's eating habits in a timely manner, and let them eat less junk food. They can eat more light and watery food. Eating bananas and yogurt regularly can help with bowel movements.
2. Encourage children to exercise more. Children nowadays prefer watching TV and rarely exercise. Exercising more can help digest food in the stomach and intestines, and bowel movements will also be much smoother. Children can do some small exercises, such as walking, climbing stairs, etc.
3. Massage the abdomen frequently. Regularly massaging the child's stomach can solve constipation problems. Massage the child's stomach clockwise with your palm every day for about ten minutes, without too much force.
