Dr. Xie Zixing
After an infant develops abdominal distension and constipation, it is recommended to adjust their diet. They may consume more high-fiber vegetables, such as celery, spinach, and Chinese cabbage, and moderately increase intake of vitamin-rich fruits, such as dragon fruit, bananas, and apples. Daily meals should be well-balanced and predominantly light; infants should avoid raw, cold, or spicy foods, as well as foods that are difficult to digest.
