What to feed a 10-month-old baby with constipation
Disease description:
My daughter is just ten months old. I don't know why, but she's experiencing constipation and hasn't had a bowel movement for several days. I'd like to know what a ten-month-old baby with constipation should eat.
For a 10-month-old baby with constipation, dietary adjustment is the primary treatment. It is recommended to increase the baby's intake of foods rich in dietary fiber, such as vegetable purees (e.g., carrot, pumpkin, spinach) and fruit purees (e.g., banana, apple, pear), which help soften stools and promote intestinal motility. At the same time, ensure the baby consumes sufficient fluids; giving small amounts of warm water can help soften the stool. You may also try feeding the baby probiotic-containing foods such as yogurt to improve the intestinal environment. If constipation does not improve after dietary adjustments, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and follow appropriate treatment measures under a doctor's guidance.
