It is not only the adults who get constipation issue but also the babies.
After the baby begins eating solid foods they get constipation issue. Similar to adults, babies also find it difficult when they get this issue.
It must be taken into account that those babies that are breastfed have low chances of getting affected by diarrhoea or constipation when compared to formula-fed babies.
Various symptoms of constipation that babies show are firm tight belly, hard stools, crying during a bowel movement, refusing to eat etc.
Constipation in the babies could be treated by these superb ways.
By giving a warm bath:
By warm bath, the abdominal muscles in the babies get relaxed and straining is avoided. It is said that any discomfort related to constipation gets avoided by a warm water bath.
By hydrating:
By consuming milk, a baby gets hydrated is known and babies do not need any other liquids other than milk for hydration. For those babies having constipation issues, fruit juice or water could provide relief provided they are above 6 months of age.
By massaging the stomach of the baby:
A baby could get relief from constipation issue by massage. Fingertips could be used to make a circular motion on the baby’s stomach in a clockwise motion.
By moving the baby’s legs slowly:
Another way by which we could provide relief to baby from constipation issue is by gentle moving the baby’s legs. Just similar to stimulating bowel movement in the adults, the movement could stimulate the bowel movement in babies too. Baby’s legs must be moved slowly in a cyclic manner.
