If a baby has dry, hard stools and difficulty defecating, you can appropriately adjust the baby's diet by including more fruits and vegetables that help moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements, as well as encouraging the baby to drink more warm water to relieve symptoms. Parents can also take the baby outdoors for regular physical activity, which effectively promotes gastrointestinal motility. If symptoms are severe, medications such as Bifidobacterium triple viable powder or Bacillus subtilis live bacterial granules may be used under a doctor's guidance.
