How to manage baby's constipation?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Constipation in babies can generally be managed as follows: 1. When a baby is constipated, increase intake of vegetables, fruits, lean meat, and other foods rich in dietary fiber to promote gastrointestinal motility and relieve constipation. 2. Increase fluid intake to enhance intestinal movement and improve constipation. 3. Encourage rhythmic physical activities such as jumping rope or leg lifts, which can accelerate gastrointestinal motility and alleviate constipation. 4. Try to maintain a regular daily routine for the baby, such as going to bed early, waking up early, getting adequate rest, and avoiding late nights. This helps regulate the baby's biological rhythm and improve constipation.
