Baby Constipation

Baby constipation is very common specially when the baby start the transition from breast milk to formula, or from strained foods to table foods.

According to Mayo Clinic pediatrician Jay Hoecker, M.D.,"An infant who has not had a bowel movement in three days most likely is constipated. In general, infants pass about four stools a day.

Breast-fed infants have more bowel movements than formula-fed infants do. This frequency gradually declines to about two a day by the time the child is 2 years old.

A few handy tips are here!

  1. A gentle massage on the baby's tummy in a clockwise direction is a very good advice.
  2. Giving a warm water bath is helpful.Babies love it.
  3. Barley or oatmeal cereals, prunes, peaches, plums, apricots and most vegetables are preferred. Please make sure you washed them well before.
  4. Prune juice helps, but make sure it`s pure and fresh
  5. Fresh apple juice contains more sugars and liquids and has a laxative effect. So, it helps relieve constipation.
  6. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast are to be avoided.
  7. Probiotics will help maintain a healthy intestinal microflora.A baby's intestinal flora is bifidobacteria. Formula fed babies have only approx 25% of bifidobacteria in their intestines compared to 95% in the intestines of breastfed babies.
