Baby constipation and bloated abdomen are mostly caused by indigestion or colds. You can gently massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction to help promote bowel movements. Additionally, encourage the baby to drink more water and适量 honey water to improve intestinal absorption. Meanwhile, maintain an appropriate indoor temperature. Include light, easily digestible foods in the baby's diet, such as vegetable purees and fruit purees.
