Methods to address baby's dry bowel movements: 1. Increase fluid intake by drinking more water or non-caffeinated beverages, and add vegetables and fruits. 2. Eat more fiber-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and aid digestion. 3. Take enteric-coated chondroitin sulfate in moderation to improve intestinal motility, enhance gastrointestinal movement, support digestion, and facilitate bowel movements. 4. Take probiotics appropriately to improve gut microbiota, enhance intestinal function, and increase stool moisture.
