Hello everyone, I'm lazy mom Qingchen.
The sister who has not yet produced a full moon has not pulled the stool for three days, and the old man has been very worried, saying that he is constipated and wants to help her defecate with a little kaiser.
Lazy mothers know that many people find their children with constipation and give their children a coseedulum. Although the lazy mother has not experienced it herself, my inner OS is: even if you don't want to pull, you can use The Coselu to pull a little.
So give the child a Caesarux, I refuse!
The first month after the baby is born, it should be the rhythm of the daily lala, but there are really newborns like the sister who do not pull for a few days.
Why babies are constipated
The first thing to look at is whether the child is constipated, usually to see if he excretes the stool. If you are constipated, your baby's stools are dry and hard, and it is difficult to defecate.
Why is this the case, first understand the normal poop is how to become constipated?
Normal poop: After food is digested into the intestine, water and nutrients are absorbed, and waste products become defecating.
To become a soft stool, there must be enough water in the waste product, and the intestines must be constantly peristaltic, so that the stool can be slowly excreted.
Thus, constipated stools: too little water, or too weak intestinal muscle strength. Published in this way, it is dry and difficult to discharge. But in either case, if you have been stuffed with poop in your stomach for several days, it will definitely be uncomfortable.
That is to say, if the baby is constipated, he will be uncomfortable when he defecates, cry when he defecates, and his expression will be painful.
Then, combined with the causes of the "mutation" in the stool, see what conditions can cause your baby to be constipated:
1. Children do not get enough water.
The protein content in formula is relatively high, which is difficult for babies to digest, resulting in dry stools. When breastfeeding, the baby eats too little or spits up more milk, resulting in insufficient "material" in the stomach and intestines to produce stool.
That is, if the baby completely absorbs the breast milk, there will be less stool, or even several days to defecate once. But such a condition does not have to be constipation.
2. Disease effects. This condition requires a doctor's visit.
Adults are not yet able to defecate every day. Then mothers can't ask their newborns to "need to defecate every day."
To determine whether a newborn is constipated, you can't just look at the length of the interval between bowel movements, but look at whether the baby has these two elements: laborious defecation and dry stool.
If the child has not defecated for many days, but the defecation is not laborious at all, and the stool is not dry, it cannot be defined as constipation.
Especially for breastfed babies, because breast milk is easy to absorb, and some children's own absorption function is also better, equivalent to eating breast milk has been used efficiently, there is no residue in the intestine, so there is no defecation for several days, which is commonly known as "belly".
How to solve constipation in newborns?
Knowing why your baby is constipated, you can find a corresponding solution.
1. Check your diet
Breast Milk Baby: First check the mother's own diet, whether it is spicy. When the baby is constipated, the mother's diet should be light, eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more water, and drink less soup.
In fact, breast-milking babies rarely have constipation, which is one of the reasons why breastfeeding is encouraged. As a lazy mother who doesn't want to be troublesome, breastfeeding can really ignore a lot of parenting problems.
Milk powder baby: Check whether the milk powder is prepared in strict accordance with the formula instructions. When the baby is constipated, be sure to follow the instructions to prepare formula, do not reduce the amount of water without authorization, give the child to drink "strong milk powder"; between the two meals, give the baby some warm water; if there is no effect, try to replace other brands of milk powder until you find the milk powder that is suitable for your baby.
2, add probiotics: give the baby to eat some probiotics, help the gastrointestinal peristalsis, fundamentally reduce the incidence of constipation. Newborns generally bring back some probiotics from the hospital, and parents must remember to insist on giving them to their children.
3. Properly massage the anus of children: you can stimulate the anus with warm water, or gently massage the anus of children with your fingers to laxative, which can cause physiological reflexes and promote infant defecation.
4. Massage the abdomen appropriately: massage the left lower abdomen, if the cord is touched, gently massage from top to bottom to promote the downward discharge of the stool.
First press from the left side of the abdomen from top to bottom with the palm of the hand, the path is "I" shaped, then from the original position, the palm is inverted "L" massage to the right lower abdomen, and finally coherently massaged from the palm of the hand from the bottom right to the lower left, the path is inverted "U" shape. Known as: I Love U Massage Abdominal Method.
5. Adhere to passive gymnastics: mothers should insist on doing passive gymnastics for babies to increase the strength of the abdominal muscles and facilitate defecation. Pay attention to keep warm during passive exercises.
Newborns rarely have constipation, mainly from the diet to prevent. Breastfeeding is best practiced. If there is really no condition, it is necessary to give the artificially fed child to drink some water in moderation to increase the amount of fiber in the child's intestine, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and promote smooth bowel movements.
In addition, parents should hold more children, help children rub their abdomen, and help children move more to ensure that children reach a certain amount of activity every day.
