1. Banana apple puree
Scrape bananas and apples into mud. Steam in the pan for 3 minutes, take it out and let it cool, then feed the baby.
nutrition secret: bananas and apples contain certain fructose, sugar alcohol and soluble dietary fiber, which can not only increase the stimulation of food on intestinal peristalsis, but also keep the water in the baby's stool from being excessively absorbed by the intestine. Therefore, it is an effective dietotherapy for constipation. Remind that the baby's stomach is not suitable for eating more raw fruits, and the acidic components are highly irritating, which will cause baby diarrhea and spleen and stomach disorders. Heat it properly before giving it to the baby.

6. Drink 15ml of honey every morning and evening.
prevention of constipation
eat more meals in small quantities.
Children have a small stomach capacity and are energetic, so they need to supplement their diet almost every 3-4 hours. When choosing snacks, we should also pay attention to that tremella, almonds and honey have moisturizing effects, which can not only soften and moisten intestines, but also contain rich protein, which is the best source of nutrition for children. Excessive food can easily make children indigestion, so it is good to prepare a small bowl at a time, which is generally about 1/3 or 1/4 of that of adults.
eat more fruits and vegetables.
Chinese medicine believes that children's constipation is caused by hot and dry constitution and strong internal heat. Usually, you can supplement melons and fruits, such as cucumbers, cantaloupes or bananas, to disperse the heat in the body. Children who don't like to eat vegetables and fruits can also eat more fungus, seaweed, kelp and dried fruits, which are rich in fiber and minerals. In addition, oatmeal is also rich in dietary fiber.
proper exercise.
At present, children in cities are generally less active, so they can practice strengthening abdominal muscles at home on weekdays, which is helpful to wake up lazy intestines. Simple squatting, bending forward, backward or turning the waist can be twisted to the waist muscles and help accelerate intestinal peristalsis.
develop a good habit of defecation.
3-7-year-old children's abdominal and pelvic muscles are developing, and their defecation reflex function is immature. They don't know if they should go to the toilet, and they often neglect defecation because of playing and being attracted by other offices, so they often need to be reminded. Therefore, it is very important to develop children's daily defecation habit. Some babies are afraid of defecation after constipation, and are unwilling to defecate. As a result, the stool stays in the intestine for too long, and the water is absorbed, forming a dry stool. Therefore, in order to induce children in order to help them overcome the fear of defecation, we can choose a fixed defecation time and give them a cup of juice or warm honey water to moisten their intestines before going to the toilet, which is helpful for defecation.
mommy's experience
Yuanyuan's mother
whenever the baby is constipated and crying and can't pull it out, I will give the baby kaiselu, and it will work as soon as I use it. However, it also has shortcomings. If you use too much, it will make your baby poop dependent. It is recommended to take diet therapy when it is not very serious! This can only be an emergency method.
Pippi's mother
Now I am cultivating my baby's good eating habits, eating more vegetables and fruits, eating more coarse grains and drinking more water, so that the baby can exercise more. In this way, the baby will rarely be constipated. Occasionally, the baby eats too much and has signs of constipation. I will also use massage therapy: let the baby lie on the bed, put my hands and fingers side by side, press them in the baby's navel, and do circular massage around the navel clockwise, not light or heavy, evenly massage 3 times, once a day in the morning and evening.
strong mother
My baby is prone to constipation in spring and autumn. Whenever constipation occurs, I will give my baby less meat and more pears. In addition, I will also wrap eggs, fennel stuffing or celery stuffed buns or jiaozi for my baby, and the poop will be easily produced.
Baby has loose bowels
Rub Bao Xin 'an oil around the navel, and rub the abdomen counterclockwise and clockwise for more than ten minutes, twice a day
At the same time, feed the baby with Smecta powder, which is more effective for baby's loose bowels. Mommy loves it
It is available in pharmacies and hospitals, so it is best to make a glass of milk for the baby to drink before going to bed (?
I wish your baby a healthy growth!
