Disease description:
Doctor, my baby often has constipation with dry, pellet-like stools. What complementary foods should I feed him/her?
Baby constipation, characterized by difficulty in passing stool and dry, pellet-like bowel movements, can be improved with appropriate complementary foods.
1. High-fiber foods: Complementary foods rich in dietary fiber can help relieve constipation. It is recommended to introduce foods such as apple puree, pear puree, and carrot puree, which can increase intestinal motility and help soften the stool.
2. Foods high in water content: Such as vegetable soup and porridge, which can increase intestinal moisture and facilitate smooth bowel movements. You can also give your baby an appropriate amount of water to maintain adequate hydration.
3. Foods rich in probiotics: Introducing probiotic-containing complementary foods, such as yogurt, can help promote intestinal health and improve constipation. When selecting probiotic products suitable for your baby, ensure they are safe and appropriate for infants.
If the above measures are ineffective, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional.
