There is also that the baby's qi deficiency can also cause constipation. Because the baby is weak, the spleen and stomach in the middle focus are cold and wet or stagnant, and the qi and blood are insufficient, that is, the function is insufficient, and the large intestine movement is weakened, leading to constipation.
In view of the above two situations, the measures taken are as follows: increasing cooking fiber, such as: vegetable leaves (chopped), carrot paste, lotus root paste, potato paste, banana puree, apple paste; Qi deficiency constipation should be supplemented with qi, such as: Radix Pseudostellariae and lotus seed lean broth; Codonopsis pilosula, Adenophora adenophora, Polygonatum odoratum, lean broth, etc.
Baby's diet should try to eat less sweets or sweet drinks, snacks and cold food. Over time, it will damage the spleen and stomach, resulting in food accumulation and indigestion. Going out for a walk and basking in the sun every day helps to absorb calcium; It is not advisable to eat too much every day, and it is easy to grow taller when you are hungry.
If the baby is constipated, it can also be done by removing the abdomen. Make the stool unobstructed. Gently rub the abdomen clockwise with four fingers; Rubbing the abdomen counterclockwise has antidiarrheal effect. Remember not to rub in the wrong direction. Long-term abdominal rubbing can not only make up for the deficiency, but also enhance the baby's immunity. This is killing two birds with one stone. But it will only work if you insist.
The above personal views are for reference only.
How does baby constipation recuperate better? I think it's best to change the baby to a milk powder that is not easy to get angry. Yili Dolly Guanzhen milk powder is nutritious and easy to absorb. The baby has been drinking for more than a year, and there is no constipation caused by excessive internal heat. It has always been my trusted brand of infant milk powder.
Constipation is caused by the lack of water in the stool, which leads to dry stool. The water in feces is produced by bacteria in the intestine decomposing cellulose in food.
Therefore, for infant constipation, we should first consider whether the intake of cellulose is enough.
Generally speaking, oligosaccharides in breast milk, prebiotics in food such as formula powder and vegetables rich in cellulose are all sources of dietary fiber.
The parents did not explain the feeding method, but the eight-month-old baby should have started to add complementary food. If the complementary food processing is too fine and refined, although it is beneficial to the absorption of nutrients, it also leads to too little food residue, which makes the baby's intake of cellulose insufficient and easy to cause constipation.
The main source of cellulose in complementary food is green vegetables, that is, leafy vegetables. If the baby is constipated, parents can first consider adjusting the proportion of green vegetables in the baby's complementary food.
Here, we should remind everyone to pay attention to the production method of green vegetables: blanch with boiling water and chop them up to avoid destroying the nutrients in green vegetables because of over-ripening.
Secondly, if the diet adjustment still has no effect, parents can consider taking lactulose+probiotics to their baby under the guidance of a doctor. Lactulose is a cellulose preparation, not a chemical. Probiotics are beneficial to improve the baby's intestinal flora function.
After taking lactulose+probiotics, do not stop using lactulose immediately, but gradually reduce the dosage. This process is generally recommended to last for 2~3 weeks, and pay attention to ensuring the baby's cellulose intake during the reduction process.
Parents should be reminded that before the baby eats lactulose for the first time, it is best to drain the dry stool with Caselo, otherwise the hard stool will be blocked in front and the stool will not be easily removed. The baby will still have a stomachache, but it won't come out. Moreover, the use of kaisailu can also prevent or reduce anal fissure to a certain extent.
Finally, the reason why baby constipation is rare is the long sigmoid colon.
The sigmoid colon is relatively long, which will cause the feces to stay here for a long time. Accordingly, the moisture in the stool is absorbed back, which will cause the stool to be dry. In this case, with the growth of age, the baby grows taller, and the colon is gradually opened, which will improve.
"Drink more water for your baby" mentioned by parents can't fundamentally correct constipation. The water that the baby drinks will be reabsorbed by the intestine above the right colon-whether the stool is dry or not has little to do with the amount of water, and drinking more water can only make more urination.
In fact, the baby is short of water, and the key point is to observe the urine color. If the baby's urine color is colorless or yellowish, then we can judge that the baby is not short of water. Moreover, excessive water intake may also cause a certain burden on the baby's kidneys.
To sum up, for this problematic baby, the suggestions are as follows:
Related suggestions:

How old is the baby?
You can't eat complementary food for less than four months. You can try the following methods:
First, probiotics Mommy Love is a common probiotic for pediatricians. Its ingredients are live Bacillus subtilis granules and over-the-counter drugs, which can be bought in general pharmacies. After the second child was released, it was sold for a while.
Mainly to supplement the normal fungi in the baby's intestines, promote digestion, constipation and diarrhea.
Second, massage your hands to warm up, apply tea seed oil, and generally moisturize oil, and massage your baby's stomach clockwise. This method can promote the baby's gastrointestinal peristalsis and enhance digestion.
Third, lactulose If the baby's stomach is hard and irritable, it is best to discharge the poop in the stomach first.
I think it is better and safer to give lactulose to the baby than to use it externally. Lactulose is generally available in pharmacies and tastes good. The baby did not resist. I gave it to the baby according to the instructions, and it took effect on the same day. But it can't be used for a long time, and the effect is good.
When the baby is four months old, adding complementary food can relieve or even solve constipation. Available foods are:
First, tremella Sydney cream Tremella is rich in polysaccharides and dietary fiber. Sydney is wet, ripe and rotten, or cooked and mashed with a cooking machine. The baby ate it very effectively.
Second, carrot puree, lettuce puree and pumpkin puree are rich in cellulose, which can effectively promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and taste good. When the baby accepts it, add it slowly, and constipation will be improved.
Third, coarse cereals such as millet, oats and sweet potatoes are richer in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals than polished rice. However, children's digestive function is not very strong, so coarse grains should be eaten together with flour and rice to meet various nutritional needs.
Millet sweet potato porridge is easy to become soft and rotten, and oats are easy to cook and delicious whether they are boiled with a cooking machine or pressed into sheets.
To tell the truth, the baby is young and his digestive function is not very mature. For the baby who just started to add complementary food, there is indeed a lot of constipation. Therefore, Ma Baogang began to add complementary food to his baby. He must start from a small amount and give his baby some soft and rotten food that is easy to digest and absorb. There must be no shortage of vegetable complementary food, and at least one kind should be added every day, which can effectively prevent the baby from constipation. In addition, even if the baby is constipated, don't take medicine casually. You can try diet therapy first. If the situation is serious, you'd better go to the hospital in time.
Here, by the way, share with Ma Bao a complementary food to prevent baby constipation:
White radish juice (6 months old baby)
Ingredients: white radish
1. Peel and wash the white radish, cut it into thin slices, put it in a container and steam it in a water pot.
2. Put the steamed white radish into a food supplement machine and mash it into mud, then filter it with a sieve to remove residue and give it to the baby.
Besides radishes, Ma Bao can give her baby some apples and bananas. The cellulose they contain is not only beneficial to her digestion, but also can regulate the body's electrolytes, absorb the toxins in her body, accelerate her excretion, and keep her baby away from constipation and indigestion.
Does your baby have constipation?
Speaking of constipation, mothers are very concerned about how often my children defecate normally. Is my child constipated? In fact, the answer to this question is not uniform. The baby's age, physiological state and defecation time are different. What needs to be emphasized here is that the number and frequency of baby defecation vary from person to person, and each child is different. The frequency of defecation is very important, but whether it is constipation or not, we should carefully refer to some symptoms.
Sometimes even if the frequency is less, the child's solution is regular, the stool is soft, and there is no special force or pain when defecating. This situation is not constipation. However, constipation can only be considered when the frequency of defecation in children is significantly reduced compared with the normal situation, accompanied by defecation effort, pain and dry stool. This discrimination refers to hard and dry poop, not just the frequency of poop. Constipation is not serious for most children, so parents need not worry too much. Parents can make some changes in their baby's daily life first.
For example, increase the baby's food intake. Sometimes the baby eats too little and the food residue is not enough to stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, thus promoting defecation.
In addition, you can increase the diet rich in dietary fiber! Add some high-fiber foods to your baby's daily diet, such as prunes, apricots, plums, raisins, peas, beans, broccoli, whole wheat cereal or whole wheat bread. In addition, give your baby more fluids every day.
At the same time, reduce the intake of whole milk, cheese white bread, rice flour, rice, non-whole wheat noodles and steamed bread, because the finer the food, the greater the impact on baby constipation.
On the basis of diet adjustment, encourage your baby to exercise more! Proper exercise can also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is also good for the healthy development of children.
If it is chronic constipation for a long time, when the above behavior and dietary changes have little effect, you can consider treating it under the guidance of a doctor, such as using Kaisailu. Some doctors also recommend laxatives to maintain treatment for a period of time, and lactulose can also be used. This drug will not be absorbed by the intestine, but will increase the moisture and volume of feces by increasing the osmotic pressure in the intestinal cavity, thus softening the feces. Current research has confirmed that this drug is very safe and effective.
In addition, slightly younger babies can't defecate normally, or they may defecate consciously. The most common occurrence of defecation is between 2 and 5 years old. Children do not want to defecate in the toilet or toilet, so they defecate. Some children may refuse to defecate when they leave home, which may also lead to constipation or aggravate constipation. At this time, you should consult a doctor, and the doctor will give advice according to the specific situation of the child.

First of all, we should distinguish between pathological constipation and functional constipation.
The common cause of pathological constipation is 1. Congenital Hirschsprung's disease is characterized by abdominal distension and difficulty in defecation soon after birth, which can be relieved by kaisailu.
2 congenital or acquired hypothyroidism. Indifferent reaction, poor appetite, difficulty in defecation and abdominal distension.
3. Rectal stenosis and long sigmoid colon. The former can be judged by stool shape and finger examination, while the latter is more difficult and generally improves with age.
Functional constipation 1, dietary factors such as cellulose, low drinking water, milk protein allergy, food on fire, excessive calcium supplementation, etc.
2, the environment often changes, or the toilet hygiene is poor, and the child's habit of squatting is developed.
3. Mental factors, stress and tension.
4. Exercise and defecate prematurely.
5. There is no proper activity after supper.
Dr. Ke suggested (for functional constipation) 1, the change of bad habits, the education of parents, chronic functional constipation is a chronic disease, of course, it needs a process, so don't rush for success.
2. If the standardized treatment is started, firstly, use Kaisailu to eliminate the hard stool blocked in the anus, otherwise what medicine to take, probiotics, water and cellulose are all nonsense. It takes 1-3 days to see the characteristics of stool.
3, laxative lactulose use, use polyethylene glycol over 8 years old, in addition to reading the instructions when using, but also combined with the characteristics of the child's stool to decide whether to increase or decrease the dose, do not endorse treatment. In order to keep the stool soft, don't stop taking medicine when the stool is thin, or stop taking medicine after a few days of treatment. We need maintenance treatment, and the time should be combined with constipation time, stool characteristics and post-treatment reaction.
4, cellulose, water is a cliche, every doctor will, do not want to talk more.
5. Probiotics are optional and not the main factor.
6, baby stool, parents' encouragement is very important.
7. Relax, lose anxiety and have confidence. If you don't understand, you can consult Dr. Ke.
Dr. Ke is the chief physician of pediatrics and has rich clinical experience. Specializing in children's digestive system diseases, respiratory diseases, chronic cough, Helicobacter pylori infection, chronic gastritis, functional constipation, abnormal liver function, chronic diarrhea, milk protein allergy and other intractable diseases, as well as infant nutrition development and feeding consultation. To be friends with health and doctors, welcome to forward your likes, comments and concerns. Sharing is a virtue. If you have any questions, you can leave a message, and Dr. Ke will answer typical questions in a targeted manner during recess. Baby constipation I heard that eating pitaya is more effective. I just fed the baby a few mouthfuls of pitaya and began to poop.
The baby's gastrointestinal tract is not perfect, and there will be some digestive problems, such as diarrhea and diarrhea. This is mainly because the baby's digestive system is not fully established, and some foods cannot be fully digested.
Why is the baby constipated? There is a certain reason for baby constipation. We should first understand what causes it, and then adjust it.
1, not full. The baby has eaten less recently (sucking milk), and the liquid is absorbed after the food is digested, and the residue is less, which will cause the stool to become sticky and difficult to discharge.
2. Add complementary food. The baby began to add complementary food about 6 months old. If meat is added after complementary food, fruits and vegetables are not eaten in time, and the dietary fiber content in the body is too low, it will also cause constipation.
3. Mom's diet. If the baby is breastfed, constipation may be related to the mother's diet. For example, if a mother eats some cold food, it will lead to constipation after the baby eats breast milk.
4. Factors of disease. Some diseases can also cause constipation in infants. Such as rickets, malnutrition, hypothyroidism and so on. In these cases, constipation is more common.
5, defecation habits. When I first started training my baby to go to the toilet, my parents were more anxious. Some babies haven't learned to use the bedpan, or don't plan to go to the toilet, but their mother (father) insists that he use the bedpan to go to the toilet. The baby is under great psychological pressure and dare not defecate. Constipation is formed over time.
Constipation and stomach preservation in infancy, there is another phenomenon similar to constipation, which is easily confused by novice mothers, and that is stomach preservation.
The situation of gastric retention mostly occurs in babies of 2~6 months, which lasts for 2~5 days. This is because the baby's digestive ability is gradually improving. After food is digested, there is little residue left, so stool is rarely discharged.
But in this case, the baby's mental state is better, the milk quantity has not changed significantly, and the weight gain is normal. Even after 3~4 days of defecation, it is still yellow and soft, and the amount is not much, and the baby has no painful expression.
Constipation is different. Babies often cry, don't sleep well at night, and the amount of milk (food intake) will drop sharply. Because they have extra "waste" in their stomachs, there is no place to put new food.
In the case of preserving the stomach, no intervention is needed. The baby's sleep, diet and mental state are the same as before. This is a physiological feature of infancy, which is a good thing for the baby, indicating that his digestive ability is increasing.
How to recuperate baby constipation? Constipation can make toxic substances in the body stay for a long time, and it may also develop into anal fissure and bloody stool. Therefore, after discovering that the baby is constipated, it is necessary to adjust the treatment in time.
First of all, suggestions on two feeding methods.
For the baby who is still breastfeeding, constipation has a certain relationship with the mother's diet. Mothers should check their eating habits and make adjustments, try to eat some fresh vegetables and fruits, and increase the intake of dietary fiber; If you feed your baby milk powder, check whether the mixing ratio of milk powder is strictly in accordance with the ratio on the milk powder can. And between feeding, increase the feeding of boiled water.
Second, supplement probiotics.
Constipation can also be treated with probiotics for the baby, but the effect will not be too fast. Babies who eat complementary food can add complementary food to rice paste to make them eat faster, which basically takes 2~3 days of observation.
Tip: Massage the abdomen and navel and circle clockwise every day, 10~ 15 times, three times a day. Can increase gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote defecation.
Third, train to defecate regularly.
When the baby enters the third month, you can give him regular defecation, for example, in the morning or half an hour after meals, let the baby sit on the toilet and develop the habit of regular defecation every day, but don't force the baby, you can also ask more questions at ordinary times and let him go to the toilet when there is defecation.
Tips: Try not to use Caselot, which may make the baby's normal defecation reflex disappear and constipation more difficult to correct.
Fourth, the adjustment of diet.
For babies who have already eaten complementary food, you can add a little vegetable juice or yam soup to the rice soup to regulate the spleen and stomach. Moreover, the baby's diet is best to contain oats, sweet potatoes, pumpkins and so on. These foods are rich in fiber. Try to eat less white rice and bananas after constipation.
Finally, add enough water.
Give your baby boiled water every day, twice as much as before, especially after getting up in the morning. My second treasure was constipated when he was a child. At that time, he drank a lot of boiled water and defecated after 48 hours.
For baby constipation, Bauer also has a diet therapy: rock sugar sesame oil. It's simple. Share it with moms. Add a bowl of water and rock sugar (a small amount), put it on a steamer and boil it, then drop sesame oil, and drink 50ml~60ml each time (according to the baby's age, it is almost one-third of the usual water consumption). Drink it three times a day, and you can excrete feces in two days.
In short, after the baby is constipated, it is still based on conditioning. Try to adjust your baby's diet and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. If the situation is serious, you should go to the hospital for examination and rule out pathological factors.
Constipation refers to the baby's dry stool, which is not easy to be discharged, and the interval between defecation is long. Babies are often constipated. How to relieve constipation for your baby?
1, choose food reasonably. Choose some vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber for your baby, such as sweet potatoes, pumpkins, broccoli, pears and blueberries. Babies aged 7-9 months can make the above foods into mud paste, such as sweet potato paste; 10- 12 months old baby can be fed small pieces of pears and carrots; /kloc-babies over 0/3 months old can increase the consistency and lumps of food.
2. Ensure adequate water intake. Babies aged 7- 12 months consume about 500-600 ml of breast milk every day on average, and need to supplement about 300 ml of water by adding complementary food or other liquids. 1-2 years old children, the average daily intake of breast milk is about 500ml, and 800ml of water needs to be supplemented from complementary food or other liquids.
3. massage. Warm hands, put them around the baby's navel, massage clockwise 10 times, with an interval of 3 minutes, and then massage several times.
4. Exercise. If the baby has not learned to walk, you can let the baby lie flat, hold the baby's ankle and do pedaling exercises; If the baby can walk by himself, take the baby to outdoor activities.
