For babies with food accumulation and constipation, increasing physical activity, eating a light diet, and drinking more warm water can help relieve constipation. On sunny days, it is recommended that babies engage in more outdoor activities, as regular exercise promotes gastrointestinal motility and digestion. This not only effectively alleviates the problem of food accumulation but also improves constipation symptoms. If a baby already has accumulated food and suffers from constipation, a light diet is essential. They may consume more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other foods rich in dietary fiber, which can enhance gastrointestinal motility and alleviate symptoms of constipation.
