gave birth to a baby, no matter how small and fresh it was before, it has begun to "emphasize": every day I study the poop carefully, take a look and sniff, it is almost time for the microscope to play. After all,
is the password of your baby's health status, and it is also the "report card" of your own feeding status.
If the baby pulls out the loose stools smoothly, it is okay; if the face is flushed but there are only a few scattered, you have to study why...
1. Is the baby's constipation due to lack of water? NO~
The main cause of constipation in babies is often not because of insufficient water.
Generally speaking, breast milk can provide enough water for babies within 6 months of age, and there is no need to drink extra water. Even babies from 7 months to 2 years old just need to drink moderate amounts of water.
Unless the baby's urine is yellow and the amount and frequency of urination is significantly reduced, it means that the baby's body lacks water and should be properly fed.
As for some babies who are prone to constipation when drinking milk powder, in addition to solving the immediate problem, you have to think about the method of brewing milk powder: Is the concentration of milk powder too high? Did you scrape a spoonful of milk powder after digging it?
Do not think that high concentration = better nutrition, and the baby's intake of water is reduced, which makes constipation more likely. In fact, it is enough to make the proportion according to the instructions.
2. Constipation is probably due to: insufficient dietary fiber intake
dietary fiber is not unfamiliar to everyone, it cannot be absorbed by the body, so it enters the intestines and can only be discharged like a passer-by.
But in the short journey of our body, he can do a lot of good things for the intestines:
l The "skeleton" that makes up the poop, like a "sweeping robot", constantly absorbs the fallen intestinal mucosa and excessive intestinal bacteria Groups, etc., can continue to absorb water to expand and promote discharge;
l stimulates gastrointestinal peristalsis, and can also "feed" the probiotics in the intestines, making them more motivated to work, improving the intestines, and helping to absorb food and nutrients...
, Once the dietary fiber is not enough, it means that an important nutrient is missing to speed up the intestines, and constipation is naturally prone to occur...
3. Where can I find dietary fiber? There are some of these natural plants!
Since the baby is six months old, everyone can gradually add them to complementary foods:
whole grains: corn, oats, millet, etc.;
beans: soybeans, red beans, black beans, mung beans, etc.;
potatoes: potatoes, Sweet potatoes, purple potatoes, etc.;
fruits: apples, pears, grapefruits, oranges, etc.;
vegetables: peas, edamame, beans, spinach, etc.
In fact, all of us with babies have always faced difficulties and walked up to the present. There is no need to worry if there is a problem. Only by identifying the cause can we "prescribe the right medicine". However, if your baby's constipation is really serious, you must consult a pediatrician first and never decide for yourself.
