What should I do if my baby has dry and hard stools that are difficult to pass?

When a baby experiences dry and difficult bowel movements, parents can take the following measures to help relieve the condition: 1. Adjust the baby's diet by ensuring adequate fluid intake and increasing consumption of fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits to promote intestinal motility. At the same time, reduce intake of greasy, high-sugar, and high-salt foods to avoid increasing the burden on the digestive system. 2. Create a comfortable environment for bowel movements by using an appropriate potty or toilet seat, so that the baby does not resist defecation due to anxiety or discomfort. Encourage the baby to develop a habit of regular bowel movements to help establish a consistent biological rhythm for defecation. 3. If the problem of dry and difficult bowel movements persists, parents may consider using stool softeners, laxatives, or probiotics for the baby, but only under the guidance of a doctor, to avoid potential adverse effects from improper medication use.
