Infant constipation is caused by improper diet in many cases. When the baby is constipated, parents should give the baby some foods rich in cellulose and effective in moistening intestines. Here is a detailed introduction to infant constipation.
Small remedies for constipation in children 1 drinking rice soup
It is not difficult to solve this constipation. When the baby is constipated during lactation, you can add sausage food, as long as you feed rice soup every day (of course, the rice in the rice soup must be drained), and you can also feed a little boiled water of barley. Orange juice, jujube juice and chinese cabbage juice are also good choices.
During weaning, infant constipation can increase complementary food, in addition to eggs, lean meat, liver and fish with high nutrition, vegetables, fruits and porridge with high cellulose, such as spinach, rape, Chinese cabbage, celery, bananas and pears. Nutrition does not favor meat and eggs with medium and high nutrition, but ignores vegetables.
2. Parent-child massage
Massage your baby before going to bed can also promote intestinal peristalsis. The specific method is: let the baby lie on the bed on his back, and the mother massages the baby's abdomen with the palm of her right hand, and gently pushes it from the right upper abdomen to the right lower abdomen and the left upper abdomen to the left lower abdomen. But be careful not to overdo it. Each time lasts 10 minute, and can be done 2-3 times a day.
3. Whole grains
When older children are constipated, they can add some whole grains, such as standard flour, potatoes, corn and barley. Oily food and cold boiled water also help to prevent and treat constipation. For babies over 4 ~ 5 months old, complementary food can be appropriately increased. It's best to chop up spinach, cabbage, vegetables and shepherd's purse, put them in rice porridge and cook them together to make all kinds of delicious vegetable porridge for the baby. In addition, complementary food contains a lot of B vitamins, which can promote the recovery of intestinal muscle tension and is very helpful for relaxing bowels.
4, plug dew method
Cut off the sharp seal of Caesar's dew. If there is burr at the nozzle, it must be smoothed. First, squeeze out a little medicine to make the nozzle smooth, so as not to stab the baby's anus. Let the baby lie on his side, insert the nozzle of Kaiser Dew into his anus, gently squeeze the plastic bag to inject the liquid medicine into the anus, and then pull out the empty shell of Kaiser Dew.
Put a clean paper towel in the baby's anus to prevent the liquid from overflowing and soiling clothes or sheets. At the same time, the baby should wait until it is unbearable to defecate, so that the liquid medicine can give full play to the role of stimulating intestinal peristalsis and softening stool, and achieve the best laxative effect.
5, jujube soup
Jujube has the function of tonifying the middle energizer and benefiting qi. Chinese medicine believes that jujube also has the effect of clearing heart and eliminating evil spirits. Therefore, when the baby is constipated, the mother may wish to try to make soup for the baby with jujube.
6. Glycerol suppository method
Wash your hands, then open the wrapping paper of the conical glycerin suppository, slowly insert it into the baby's anus, then gently press the anus and wait as long as possible to make the glycerin suppository fully melt before defecation.
7. Cool oil
Prepare a bottle of cool oil, preferably the white one, and apply a thin layer around the baby's navel with cool oil (it must not be too much, otherwise the baby's delicate skin can't stand it), then apply a layer on the back corresponding to the navel and massage slightly, so that the baby will start farting and defecate slowly after 1 ~ 2 hours. If you can't do it once, you can do it two or three times.
8. Soap bar method
Wash your hands, cut the soap into cone-shaped soap bars about 3 cm thick and pencil thick, wet the soap bars with a little water first, and then slowly insert them into the baby's anus. Similarly, try to keep the soap bar in the anus for a long time to fully stimulate peristalsis.
9. Proper exercise
Properly strengthening the activity of abdominal muscles is helpful to improve the symptoms of constipation, such as simply squatting, bending back and forth or turning the waist, which can reverse the waist muscles and accelerate intestinal peristalsis. Helping the baby crawl is also a good activity. These activities are simple and easy to master, which can make the baby do more.

This is because when children are young, parents are often not sure whether their children are allergic or not, and whether they are allergic to certain substances (such as seafood and pollen). Honey contains pollen. If the child is allergic, it is easy to cause allergies by drinking honey for the child.

1. What are the symptoms of neonatal constipation?
1, 1, meconium
If you still can't see meconium 24 hours after birth, you should doubt whether it is fecal obstruction caused by congenital malformation of digestive tract, and make timely diagnosis and treatment. A slightly older baby is abnormal if there is no meconium discharge or a small amount of abnormal meconium discharge after defecation interval of more than 36 hours. Pay attention to whether the baby has congenital digestive tract malformation and other diseases.
1 2, common stool
If the baby defecates for more than 48 hours, it can be considered constipation. Some babies have poor defecation shortly after birth, and defecate every 1-2 days or 3-4 days/time. The defecation is dry and hard, and the baby cries constantly during defecation. Because the stool is dry and hard, it is difficult to defecate every time, which will make the baby feel scared and afraid of defecation, leading to a vicious circle.

Sanren Pills (Trichosanthes kirilowii, Prunus salicina and Fructus Cannabis 3g each) are commonly used in heavier patients, each time 1 capsule, twice a day 1 ~ 2 times, and the young patients are halved. Older children can take Maren Zipi Pill, 1 ~ 2 capsules a day, and stop taking medicine after defecation.
2, 2, diet correction
Artificial feeding is more likely to cause constipation, but constipation can be avoided by adding sugar and complementary food reasonably. If it happens, the sugar content in milk can be increased to 8%, and juice (such as tomato juice, orange juice, pineapple juice and jujube juice) can be added to stimulate intestinal peristalsis. For older babies, you can add food supplements such as mashed vegetables, chopped vegetables, fruits and porridge. If it is bigger, you can add corn flour, millet, cereal and other miscellaneous grains to make porridge.

The baby has been in the supine position, which is not conducive to the full peristalsis of the intestine. Babies who often lie on their backs without any position changes are also prone to constipation. For such babies (especially some full-term normal babies), parents are advised to turn over three times a day, practice raising their heads and increase gastrointestinal peristalsis.
