Constipation in babies 2 months

Constipation in babies 2 months old is a condition where the baby goes outside in a dry, solid, solid form. The cause of constipation in babies can be caused by the child not being given enough milk, lack of water. Therefore, to overcome constipation in a 2-month-old child it is necessary to increase lactation or drink milk.

Normally, breastfeeding babies have a frequency of 1- 2 times a day, feces are soft, crumbly, have a color of broccle, sour smell.

Constipation in babies is the phenomenon of babies going outside dry, lumpy, solid. Your child may have to push when he or she is ate. The number of times of tresing is less, more than 3 days the child has just gone out.

The majority of babies who are fully breastfed are less likely to suffer from constipation than formulas because breast milk is easier to digest. However, constipation in breastfeeding babies can still occur, the main cause of which is low feeding, insufficient feeding of the body's milk, which leads to a lack of water.

• Increase the amount of water for the baby's body by increasing breastfeeding. Breast milk is easy to digest, so if your baby is breastfeeding enough, it will both help replenish the amount of water and help the digestive system work more smoothly. If the mother has little milk, she can breastfeed her baby several times. Besides, mothers also need to increase the addition of greens and fruits for better excretion through breast milk.
• If constipation in infants is formula, parents and caregivers need to mix milk in accordance with the instructions, avoiding a condensation that can cause constipation in the child. Besides, parents should also pay attention in choosing the right formula for the child's digestive system.
• When bathing the child, before eating, or when the child pushes to defecate, gently rub the child's abdomen clockwise, or perform a movement of the child's foot cycling, to stimulate intestinal condillity, making it easier for the child to defecate.
• When constipation in babies makes it difficult to turn, causing the child to push and not walk, parents can use soft cotton sticks impregnated with vegetable oil or honey to stimulate the area of the child, helping the child to go to the pepper more easily.
