Dry stool in babies is often related to lack of water in the body, because the small intestine needs to absorb water. If there is insufficient water, the stool will definitely be dry and hard! This article will introduce you to several ways to relieve constipation in your baby. Drink more water
Drinking more water is an important way to relieve constipation. The amount of water given every day is about half of the milk volume per meal: 30 ml in the first week of life; 45 ml in the second week; 1 month later 50~60ml; 60~75ml at 3 months; 70~80ml at 4 months; 80~100ml at 6 months; 100~120ml at 8~12 months. Kaiselu is a laxative
If your baby has dry stool and cannot pull it out, and drinking more water is still ineffective, you can use Kaiselu to stimulate defecation under the guidance of a doctor. Kaiselu mainly contains glycerin and sorbitol, which can stimulate the intestines and have a laxative effect. When using it, please note that after injecting Kaiselu into the anus, parents should clamp the buttocks on both sides with their hands to keep the Kaiselu liquid in the intestines for a while, and then let the child defecate. The effect will be good. Tips for laxatives
1. Vegetable soup: appropriate amount of fresh spinach or cabbage, boil it into soup and drink it. 2. Radish juice: Mash red radish into a puree to get juice (or extract juice from a juicer), add an appropriate amount of sugar, boil for 2 to 3 minutes, and drink warmly. 3. Leek juice: Mash the leek leaves and take 1 small cup of juice. Take it with warm water, once in the morning and once in the evening. 4. 15 grams of black sesame seeds, mashed, boiled in water, eaten on an empty stomach. Reasonably increase complementary foods
When babies have dry stools, they can appropriately feed them some fruit and vegetable juices, such as boiling radish, carrots, celery, etc., and squeezing the juice of oranges, apples, and watermelons. When the baby is 5 months old, complementary foods can be gradually added. It is best to chop spinach, cabbage, green vegetables, etc. into rice porridge or oatmeal and cook them together to make various vegetable porridge for the baby. Vegetables are rich in fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and achieve the purpose of laxatives.
