In cases of severe constipation, giving your baby probiotic lyophilized powder is safe and can effectively promote gastrointestinal motility and metabolism, thereby helping maintain regular bowel movements. In terms of daily meals, you may appropriately include fiber-rich foods—such as honey water and bananas—to help prevent constipation. Additionally, ensure your baby drinks plenty of water, maintains good local hygiene, and engages in appropriate physical activity.
